Shades of the World

Help me give my students some updated materials for the classroom. Being able to give students a variety of materials with shades that match their unique skin tone would be a game changer!

My Project

Classrooms can alway use updated materials! After teaching for several years some of the materials need a little updating and refresh!

Students will be able to use the shades of the world materials to always find something that matches their unique skin tone for projects about them, as well as any projects with peoples skin tones.

This new incoming class and classes to come can use all the new materials to work in a group setting or even individually. These kids are full of life and always work hard. I want to make sure that even at a title one school they get the opportunity to have new materials to do whatever they like.
