Creative Kiddos

Help me give my students the supplies needed to spark imagination and curiosity. We love to make projects and we go through paint, glue and paper every day!

My Students

My students are an active and energetic group of 5 year olds who are predominately second language learners. They are curious and love to try new ideas, build and explore. They are learning letters and sounds and just starting their educational journey.

I have a class of second language learners from a low socio-economic group who are eager to grow and learn.

Many have never been in school before and most of their families have never been to college.

We are focusing on integrating our learning through the use of collaboration and hands-on projects.

They are curious and inquisitive and are learning problem solving, self-regulation, social/emotional skills alongside 21st century projects.

My Project

We use a lot of paint, paper, and glue from the very first day!

We begin the year coloring, cutting, gluing and creating projects, directed drawings and all manner of expressive artwork.

We use a lot of paint and paper so restocking these supplies makes a world of difference and allows us to choose our projects.

The drying rack will help to provide a safe place where art can dry and not be disturbed by wind, rain, or other kiddos! My students love when I am able to provide extra supplies at the end of a project so that they can make a second or even third piece of art at school!
