Expressing Creativity

My students need 3 buckets of dough, 5 packages erasable markers, 1 model magic classpack, 1 package crayola twistable crayons, 10 sidewalk chalk buckets, 18 boxes of construction paper crayons, 5 boxes of Prang® Freeart Chalk, and 2 boxes of Giant Chunki Chalk.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Chabus's classroom raised $547

This project is fully funded

I teach 18 energetic 4 year olds in New York City, who love to be creative and crafty. The best thing about my job is that I get to work with them everyday.

My students live in environment that doesn't give them the best of opportunities. In my classroom I try to give them experiences they might not normally have. The children in my school have a very creative side but don't usually get to express it. We don't have a variety of art materials to help them truly express themselves.

I have placed a request for a variety of art supplies that most of my students have not had the opportunity to use, such as crayons sidewalk chalk, molding clay, and play dough. These materials I feel are a childhood must have; materials that most of my students have never had a chance to use. Who can't remember the fun they had sitting on the ground and spending endless hours using sidewalk chalk or the fun they had molding a snake out of clay, even the hours they spent making pictures with their brand new boxes of crayons? The projects my students will be able to create from these materials will be endless.

Thank you so much for reading my proposal. Just know that if you help support my project you will be giving a child a pre-k year to remember. Giving my classroom these materials will lead to endless hours of creativity and hopefully let a child unleash their hidden creativity.
