Making Learning Fun With Art!

My students need a Chenille Kraft Colossal Paint Brush Assortment along with a vast assortment of art supplies that we will use to create art while we are learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Padgett's classroom raised $398

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students attend a district in a small town in East Texas. They all share a love and passion for learning! Our district strives hard to provide our students with as many learning opportunities as it can, but with over half of my students coming from a low socioeconomic background the resources can be limited at times. My students enjoy and appreciate any and all learning opportunities they are given! My students come to me everyday ready to learn, and I strive to motivate them in as many positive ways as I can!

My Project

I would love to have the opportunity to make learning even more fun with art supplies. Students love to make crafts and participate in art activities. Not only will this project give my students the opportunity to be more creative, but these supplies with be extremely helpful as we create art that connects back to our learning.

Who does not like painting?

I am asking for a variety of paint brushes, along with paint. Along with paint and brushes, we will need paper to make our creations on. I am asking for cardstock as well as construction paper so we can give the students a variety of choices for their materials.

For themed lessons we can also use cardstock to create specific objects such as flowers in the Spring as we study plants.
