My Students

My students are ages 3-5 with various special needs. They thrive in a learning space that has various types of toys, reading materials, and basic school supplies that will help everyday learning. My students come from low-income homes and do not always have a comfortable place to go home to, receive the supports needed, or cannot afford resources to help with learning.

My Project

With the many craft projects we do in our classroom throughout the year, supplies tend to be used rather quickly. Having construction paper, googly eyes, and many more craft supplies will give the children opportunity to expand their creative skills. Also, having durable plastic trays for each student helps keep their supplies separate and less likely to spread germs.

Having a good collection of different kinds of craft supplies will enhance the children's creativeness.

Our children love to paint and we love to see what they can create on their own. We have a painting easel set up everyday for children to paint at their leisure, so our paint supplies dwindle down quickly. Having extra paint on hand will allow us to never run out. We appreciate your donations towards our project.
