This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My children have a high interest in learning. Students come from high poverty neighborhoods, which results in a large percentage of free or reduced-price lunch recipients. My children are beginning to learn how to become life-long learners.
My students need new art supplies so they are able to create and use their imaginations.
This is their first year of school. They are starting their school journeys. As their teacher, I strive to give them as many new learning opportunities as possible in their first year of school. I teach them to be independent and responsible students.
My Project
My students come to me without having art experiences. This is their first time in school so I try to make it fun as well as educational. Some children have never experienced paint at home.
My students need new art supplies so they are able to continue to use their imagination and creativity.
The new art supplies will also allow them to be messy. The art easels will allow me to let them paint but they can also be used for lessons with the dry erase sides.
The paint dabbers will allow children to find numbers and letters with a new medium. The easels will be used to paint, but also to draw with chalk as well. The pipe cleaners and craft sticks will be used to make puppets. My children love to do art and would be thrilled if they would get new supplies.
