Mrs. Wells from East Moline IL is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Rewards and Fun Crafts to Help Add Positivity

Help me give my students the fun activities and rewards they can earn for working so hard this school year. Plus I want to give them diverse books to take home and keep as well as school supplies.

My Students

I am an English/Language Arts teacher this school year, and I have roughly 85 fifth-grade students. I would like to get crafts and school supplies plus books for my fifth-grade students to have at home and at school to read independently.

Due to the COVID-19, the students will have their books at home or at school.

I want my students to have fun and explore crafts and writing to express their emotions after almost one year of hybrid learning.

Our middle school is a Title I school, and we qualify for 100 percent free breakfast and lunch. It will be great for students to have what they need at home to do their schoolwork.

My Project

My students have gone through so much with almost a year of hybrid learning. It is time to reward them with fun activities and crafts plus books to keep. I want the kids to be excited again about the school, home, and what they can do for themselves to have fun. Their emotions are all over the place and it is time to help them feel great about themselves and let them know they are awesome. Providing these crafts and supplies will give them a chance to have fun just coloring or drawing sketches while thinking about their emotions.
