My students need 50lbs of clay and some colorful glazes to complete clay pots to fulfill our county's visual arts curriculum.

My Students
My students love to open their imaginations by working with clay! Do you remember the first time as a youngster what it was like to mold clay into some meaningful form? My school is not able to provide all the funding for supplies and I hope to give my students this wonderful opportunity!
I teach wonderful children grades K-5 in a title one school in Georgia.
Most of my students come from economically disadvantaged homes and as a result they appreciate and love any new or creative experiences that I can introduce to them. I have found that clay building is one of their most favorite activities!
My Project
The students will hear the story, "The Pot That Juan Built" and learn about Mexican pottery. Students will learn about the processes this one village uses to make beautiful pots and how it became famous around the world for its creative pot making techniques. In addition, students will get the chance to experience the steps necessary in making a pot and experiment with colorful glazes!
Donations of any size are greatly appreciated and will enable my students to experience the joy of using their creativity to make pots.
In addition, students will become more aesthetically and culturally attuned by learning and appreciating the artistic contributions of another culture.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
