Mrs. Connors from Delmar NY is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Painted Paper

Help me give my students We have been using paint sticks a lot this year to create painted paper for various projects. They are great because it gives you texture and depth but it is mess free!

My Students

These kids this year are so adorable! They are super excited to be back at school or just starting school for the first time and love making art. They are super creative and love telling me all about their work.

My Project

We have been using paint sticks a lot this year and the kids love them. We’ve done line design, painted paper, and more. This tool has been so useful this year but we only have 1 1/2 class sets and they are quickly running out. I would love to continue to use this material with my students and explore its limitations. Please consider donating to this project to help me purchase enough sets for 30 students so I have another 1 1/2 class sets. I have used paint sticks for all grades so far and even my 5th graders have fallen in love with them (and the classroom teachers are glad it is mess free).
