My Project

The key to have an engaging classroom is allowing students to explore and have fun. I would like to purchase these items for my classroom to keep my students engaged with their creativity and art.

Art is a reflection of you....

I want my students to explore learning how to carve clay and create things such as a house or flower pot. I am asking for paint, water color spray paint, clay, and playdough. The students will create different pictures with paint and art materials. The spray paint can help students learn more about the mixture of colors. The play dough is to help with fine motor skills.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
