Help me give my students the colors of the rainbow so they can create their own masterpieces!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $221

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

The items that I am requesting will help my students share their creativity with me, the school and their families. They will have the option to use colors they love to paint pictures and express their ideas in creative ways.

The goal of this project is to continue the rich creative environment and curriculum I have created with my class this school year.

My students love to share and help each other create things. This creativity also increases my students' vocabulary and ability to practice having conversations with each other and adults in the classroom.
