Emotional Pick-Me-Ups!

Help me give my students supplies to explore their dreams through art with paint and kits for making masks, dream catchers, rain sticks, mosaics and even worry dolls are included.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gates's classroom raised $565

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items requested are for my class entitled "Creative Explorations". They are all based on creating art through "feel good" objectives such as Dream Catching Kits to capture their dreams in their minds and for hope.

The Rain Stick kits and other items will all enhance awareness of their own thoughts and feelings, their world and enable them to creatively express themselves.

I know they will find the joy with other students enjoying shared activities with each other. Communication through art is so valuable for my students as they are facing new challenges along their way every day.
