Help Me Support Equity in My Classroom

Help me give my students the tools they need to engage in creative thinking.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lacomis's classroom raised $666

This project is fully funded

My Project

All of my students enjoy and connect with art in different ways and need different tools to support their strengths and abilities. When students have an option to choose the appropriate materials to create, they are on the path to engagement and success.

Having access to multiple and modified versions of materials like larger crayons, model magic, lacing boards, puzzles and Kwik Stix allows the valuable option of choice in the process of creating.

Materials like artist books help support learning for younger grades and create a deeper, more meaningful connection to the work they do. Starting the year with the supplies I need to support learners of all ages and strengths is such a significant step towards success.
