Help me give my students supplies to support their creative ideas and expand their learning.

This project is fully funded

My Project

Prek scholars are curious and creative by nature. With this in mind, my class uses a variety of supplies to explore and expand their creative minds throughout the year. The materials requested will help enhance and encourage my scholars as they explore their creative ideas.

I love watching my scholars design masterpieces out of various art medium.

It is truly amazing to observe their creative ideas come to life.

The supplies I have requested will not only be used for art expression but will also be used to create a print rich environment.
