Perler for Perfect Pupils

Help me give my students perler beads for afterschool arts and crafts projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kaplan's classroom raised $250

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are really lovely kids. They are hardworking, funny, and bright. They live in a very disadvantaged community where resources are scarce and teachers have to work really hard to acquire supplies and plan enrichment activities.

My students do their best to comply with all that we require of them, which means a large amount of test prep and a small amount of recess.

As their teacher, I owe it to them to try to bring fun and creativity to our school year to the best of my abilities.

Many of my students have special needs, ranging from learning differences to emotional disturbances, and it's important to me to make learning fun and enjoyable for them.

My Project

My fifth graders are thoroughly enjoying their afterschool arts and crafts club, and I am always on the lookout for fun activities that we can do!

These perler beads will be a new and engaging activity for the students to try, and I know the kids will love it.

I will bring in my Cricut easy press to heat up the projects so the students can bring them home the same day they make them. My students really work hard and deserve this special, fun treat! I know they will enjoy these exciting activities and it will help them work harder and perform even better in their schoolwork.
