Portfolios and Paint For Projects

Help me give my students portfolio bags for their classroom work and tempera paint sticks for their next art project.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaiter's classroom raised $170

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

I teach a wonderful group of fourth graders who are inquisitive and love to learn! They have completed many projects this year and soon they will be able to take them home!

The portfolios requested in this project are the perfect solution!

The portfolios in this project will be used to house all of the art, math, and science activities my students have completed all year. Many of the pieces they created are too big to store in a regular file cabinet without folding and wrinkling them up. We need a place to store their work so it will be in great shape for our school open house at the end of April.

These large portfolios will be able to house all of their art pieces, big and small, and keep them in excellent condition. My students will then keep the portfolios to take their work products home. It's a win-win for everyone!

Lastly, I am also requesting paint sticks for end-of-the year art activities.

Thank you for your support!
