Help My First Graders Show Their Creativity!

My students need art supplies. My little first graders love to create and express themselves using different art forms. It is a great form of learning for the younger grades!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Herden's classroom raised $640

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are from a small town in upstate South Carolina, called Clemson. It's the home of an amazing University (and football team!). Many of my students have parents or other family members that work for Clemson University.

We have a very diverse population of students.

Our class alone represents 6 nationalities. We celebrate our uniqueness and learn from each other.

My students are high achievers. Many of them are reading above grade level, and excelling! They love to be challenged, and they love to learn in new and engaging ways.

My Project

I would love for my student to be able to learn while exploring different art forms. We are always in need of basic supplies, like different colored construction paper and paint. And I know they will love some new and fun things like wiggly eyes and dot markers.

I have added canvases to my list because I want my students to be able to work on a masterpiece.

This project will be something we spend a lot of time on, and they will be incredibly proud of their finished products!

They love to show what they know with culminating projects, and these supplies will go a long way to help them.
