The Inner Artist Being Expressed!

Help me give my students a space to create as artists!

FULLY FUNDED! Mx. Jackson's classroom raised $368

This project is fully funded

My Project

While learning is about the core subjects of Mathematics, ELA, Science, and Social Science. Being able to express yourself in a creative way is just as important. I want to create a kid-friendly paint and sip where they paint, get snacks and sip juice. So these supplies will go towards our art corner in class. A time I set out for them to be creative and learn other important skills. To show their inner artist in a fun way. We would do this after our yoga time.

I would instruct how to create different paintings teaching focus, patience, and being able to execute multi-step work!
