My Students

My students are in fifth grade. They love art, science, literature, and getting their hands dirty. A lot of them reside on farms in rural homes, so they have tough chores to complete on a daily basis. These amazing kids have braved through Covid with masks, social distancing in school, quarantines, and new routines like handwashing stations, rapid tests, tons of hand sanitizer, and new room cleaning procedures all while staying at a learning level one grade above the national grade level they are supposed to be at for their ages!

My students are kind, honest, very caring, and wildly creative.

They enjoy a good challenge as they have been tested this year, especially with this virus. Their perseverance and hope inspire me to do better for them. They are a great group of loving kids who love to read and learn.

My Project

Hi! Thank you for considering helping our classroom obtain some art supplies for our "Paint Night" projects in class!! We love to make a mess and getting dirty, even in fifth grade, and my students enjoy getting creative with paints, different kinds of paper, and canvases. It is awesome to see each of their perspectives and talents on every project we create!

It would be so much easier and efficient to have these jugs with the pumps of paint that the students could use independently, new brushes to learn techniques like blending, and real canvases to paint on!

I aim to inspire a love of art and creativity in my students through these art projects. All of these materials will add to the wonder, curiosity and excitement they have towards art! Thank you for your help in making our art come to life!
