FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Christian's classroom raised $485

My Project

I am a 3rd grade social science teacher and we are learning about creativity in our communities. My students have been asked to created a mural of their choice. Please help my students by supporting their academic needs with construction paper and markers. Your generosity will inspire students to think about positive contributions in their communities. As we continue to read and study, students will be able to write about what they are learning and support their learning through creative artwork. The talent is there, they just need assistance with expressing and showing what they know.
