Pencil Sharpeners to Stay Sharp!

Help me give my students pencil sharpeners so their art can stay sharp!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beans's classroom raised $249

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 following combination of items will help me finish up the art room.

We need just a few left over items to take our classroom to a new level!

Some of these items include pencil sharpeners and a storage bin to store materials. Other items include glue sticks that will be used for classroom displays because displaying student art is a great way to build confidence. The pencil sharpeners are essential in art so that students have well working materials. I truly look forward to adding all these materials to daily use in our art room!
