Creative Minds in Kindergarten

Help me give my students some basic art and other supplies to have a creative kindergarten experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McGinnis's classroom raised $759

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to be creative. With these basic art supplies and general classroom supplies my students will have the opportunity to show their creativity while learning and having fun!

I have also included a few SEL resources and center materials to help my students learn in many different ways!

Learning to manage emotions is a big thing in kindergarten and these tools will help us accomplish that.

I have an active bunch of learners but they love learning. With limited resources in our community this project would be helpful in allowing these students the learning opportunities that they deserve.
