Develop Craft

Help me give my students an exciting TAB experience! Students need opportunities to explore and experiment with different tools and materials. These materials can be expensive, so any help is appreciated!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rufino's classroom raised $167

My Project

My students have amazing ideas! The art room provides the perfect space for them to Stretch & Explore with these ideas. I am working towards a Teaching for Artistic Behavior curriculum rather than the standard 'cookie-cutter' approach.

When students are given the opportunity to work like artists, they can realize their creative potential.

In order to make this happen, we need some special supplies. These supplies will help them find what they like best and build upon that as they develop craft skills.

Large hole punches, low temp glue guns, Model Magic, and foil paper can make a huge dent in my budget. I appreciate the generosity of others who help bring these supplies to the young artists I work with!
