Help our Creativity Grow in our Kinder Garden Class!

Help me give my students art supplies to develop their creativity and love for learning.

My Project

Having art supplies readily available helps enrich and personalize learning for all students. These supplies will be used in various projects and activities, fostering a hands-on learning experience. Students will create the following projects: making character mask, building a pathway for the gingerbread man in our STEAM unit, painting a self-portrait, and much more.

These art supplies, with your generous support, will allow my students to express their creativity, learn from each other, and have fun while they learn.

Their love for learning will bloom and grow daily! Our kinder"garden" class will be full of color, creativity, and happiness.
