Make Our World Colorful!

Help me give my students color ink and cardstock to enhance their learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keels's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class is full of energetic, exuberant, and amazing kindergarteners! Our school is a Title I school where most students come from low-income or poverty-stricken homes or may live in a motel. All of the students receive free lunch. Most are English Language Learners, while some have special needs. These students come to school eager to learn every day with big smiles on their faces, regardless of their circumstances.

In order to facilitate my students' participation in small groups, I am requesting printer ink so that I can print books and letter recognition/math activity sheets in color.

The colored copies will enhance my students' understanding of the page and help them see more detail. The card stock paper will also be used throughout the year for students to express their creativity through our various art projects. Thank you so much! My kiddos and I really appreciate it.
