Help me give my students art supplies so that they are able to develop fine motor skills, creativity, and a love of art.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gitters's classroom raised $382

My Project
Help provide paper, paint, scissors, and other art supplies for a new Pre-K classroom!
Students will work on developing fine motor skills, creativity, and a love of art through daily theme based projects.
Student learning to cut will strengthen hand muscles. Strengthening these muscles will help beginning writers be able to hold writing tools and form shapes, letters, and numbers.
Having a variety of paper, paint, glitter (every 4 year old LOVES glitter!) will give students the opportunity to create and express ideas. This gives children an active open ended way of showing what they have learned. Materials will be used to reinforce beginning writing, math, and pre-reading skills on a level that is developmentally appropriate, and high interest, for young learners.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
