Every Minute Spent Organizing, Is an Hour of Art-Making Earned!

Help me give my students an organized, and well-stocked art classroom! Things like a label maker and a broom will help keep us organized and clean. Art-making tools will help when precision is needed.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reed's classroom raised $636

My Project

My students are AMAZING! They deserve the best and to better organize our room I'll use clipboards and a label maker to have our supplies easy to find. To keep our room clean and friendly the broom, dustpan, wipes, and aprons will be so helpful. Tools like compasses, circle makers, and retractable erasers will allow for precision when needed. The books, puzzles, and visual aids will help when there's downtime or when we have a creative block.

My students are smart and creative and it is my job to provide them with the inspiration, the space, and the materials they need to bring their ideas to life!

These supplies are what I need to do my job, which happens to be the best job in the world!
