Help me give my students new art supplies to express their creativity this year.

My Students

I teach at a STEM-focused elementary school. My students are creative, inquisitive, and compassionate second graders. They are learning about community, responsibility, and collaboration in a hands-on STEM classroom. I am inspired by their love for learning and their willingness to push through the tough stuff.

My students are doers, leaders, and our future.

My students thrive in a classroom that supports choice, creativity, and the freedom to think outside the box. They start every day with yoga and meditation. My students thrive when problem-solving and finding answers to today's social injustices. They put together a yard sale to send a girl in Pakistan to school. They care. My students love to talk through problems and share ideas. They are collaborative, cooperative, creative, and kind. Each and every day they inspire me to become a better teacher.

My Project

Last year I sent all of my classroom art supplies home so that students would be able to express their creativity even though they were away from the classroom. I sent home oil and chalk pastels, paint, glue, tape, markers, paper, and more. My students were able to participate in creative learning via Zoom.

This year I would like to teach art in the classroom and will need to replace all of my art supplies.

The crayons, markers, colored pencils, paint, brushes, craft supplies, and paper will all be used in the classroom this year to let my second grade students explore their creativity and use their imagination to promote learning in the classroom. I can't wait to see their amazing works of art.
