Read and Create: Basic Supplies

Help me give my students watercolor paints and brushes, modeling clay, tissue paper, and Spanish language books.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Livingstone's classroom raised $475

This project is fully funded

My Project

Many of my students enjoy demonstrating learning through art projects. The watercolor paints, brushes, and paper will allow them to create visual responses to concepts and stories. With the modeling clay, students will be able to create mathematical models such as depictions of fractions and ratios. Using the tissue paper, students will create magnificent flower arrangements following step-by-step directions which include key circle vocabulary.

Finally, we are always up for a good read, and the small collection of Spanish language books, including Diary of a Wimpy Kid titles, will be read and read.

We appreciate your support.
