Help me give my students unique art projects using the mosaic dots. Their art piece will be the cover of their sketchbooks, and my students will draw or write with the washable Crayola markers.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Olivas's classroom raised $349

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My 4-year-old students are full of wonder, creativity, and joy. They learn best when their hands and minds are busy exploring. Mosaic dots will strengthen fine motor skills, pattern recognition, and focus. Sketchbooks will give them a special place to draw and write, encouraging self-expression over time. Washable markers will add color and excitement without worry over mistakes.
My goal is to nurture confidence, creativity, and a love for learning.
These resources will help my unique, curious, and capable students shine as they create, explore, and share their stories.
These specific materials make a difference by combining art, literacy, and fine motor practice in one joyful experience. The mosaic dots engage careful hand-eye coordination and pattern thinking. Sketchbooks provide a lasting record of growth and imagination. Washable markers encourage experimentation and bold choices without fear. My students are special because each one brings their own voice, culture, and personality to our classroom, making every project unique and meaningful.
