Cultivating Amazing Artists and Life-Long Learners!

Help me give my students art supplies to encourage self-expression and equipment to maximize learning in our new school garden!

My Project

These art supplies will help create opportunities to use creative self-expression to support social-emotional learning. Each student will bring their unique vision of a nighttime cityscape to life. For most, if not all of my students, this will be their first time painting on a canvas!

I plan to use the lamination supplies and photo boxes to create and organize reusable reading intervention materials to support students who experienced learning loss due to COVID-19.

The remaining supplies will be used to maximize hands-on learning opportunities in our school garden. The rechargable batteries are an eco-friendly way to power our handheld microscopes. The watering cans will provide opportunities for students to get their hands dirty caring for our growing herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The food dehydrator will be used as part of our unit on food choices and nutrition. We will use it to create healthy snack options using the plants we harvest from the garden!
