Help me give my students the tools to succeed in the classroom. This will be my first year teaching, so I want them to be prepared as much as I am. Hopefully, this is a good start!

My Project
This is my first year teaching! I am gathering the basics, such as Crayola Classpack, Play-Doh, Dry Erase Paddles, and Compartment Supplies Caddies, to ensure I have everything for a good first year teaching these wonderful students. I want my students to have options in my classroom, so they can exercise their creativity! My goal is to use these supplies as a starting point and gather more and more as I get more experience.
Being able to use different media in my art class is another goal.
I want all my students to find something about art that they like and will continue to do outside the classroom.
I want my students to use art to affect their community and motivate others to do so.
