My Project

Art brings my students so much joy! Whether they are sketching a self-portrait to explain their identity, painting a sunset to describe their mood, or building a playground to demonstrate their knowledge of forces and motion, my students are happiest when they have the opportunities to create. We are requesting Watercolor Paint, Oil Pastel Set, Mobile/Wall Mountable Art Drying Rack and more.

Learning is more fun when it's colorful!

My goal is to replenish our class' art supplies and have art supplies readily available for student use. These supplies will be used for both Exploration classes (aka electives) and classroom projects.

My students are the sweetest and most thoughtful humans. They are young and innocent children who love all things colorful when using paint, glitter, oil pastels or anything they can use their hands to show their creativity and learning.

Mrs. Chonka will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
