Learning with Art

My students need crayons, markers, glue, and scissors to express their knowledge creatively.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Clarke's classroom raised $450

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students attend a small school nestled in a neighborhood in Pennsylvania. The students attending my school are from an area marked by high poverty. They have had kindergarten and first grade to settle into the school routine. The time for achievement gaps to close is running low. It is imperative that they see school as a positive space that respects and supports them.

It is increasingly important that these students know each and every day that poverty does not define them.

They deserve the best classroom experience. They need access to resources that support their education.

My Project

I have asked for crayons, markers, glue, scissors, and white board supplies to bring creativity to learning. These supplies allow me to bring creativity to every day learning. Students can color and illustrate math, reading and writing concepts. They can cut and glue to show knowledge of word patterns and science concepts.

Learning is brought alive by infusing creativity.

Simple supplies such as crayons, markers, dry erase markers, glue, and scissors can add a level of fun and creativity that isn't found with simple pencil and paper work. Being able to cut out letters and glue them into words adds engagement and hands on experiences. Coloring illustrations on writing pieces gives a sense of accomplishment. However, young students are hard on supplies and they need to be replaced often. Your donation will make this possible for us!
