Let's Express Ourselves!

Help me give my students an opportunity to express themselves and be creative.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hanson's classroom raised $234

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am starting a new unit about families and the people in a family. I think it is so important for kids to have time to express themselves and just have fun. These puppets would really give the kids a huge variety to choose from, and they can express who they are. We just don't give kids enough time to use their imaginations.

The scissors are needed for all the exciting projects we are doing.

Time to replace the old ones.

The laminating poaches are to laminate and keep all those exciting projects.
