Cut It Out!

Help me give my students scissors and tape for an exciting art project!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gleason's classroom raised $246

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students and I are very excited about making side tables out of recycled cardboard. This is a project that I will be working on with my middle school class in a few weeks. We need some medium size scissors so the middle schooler can cut the cardboard. We also need some duck tape so we can tape the legs, sides, and top together. After the students make cut the cardboard out and tape the pieces together they will paper mache and decoupage designs and images on top.

This class is excited to learn out to build out of using recycled materials and needs some scissors.
