Mrs. Kelly from Bronx, NY is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

The Pre-K Museum of Art

My students need 15 different art supplie such as washable tempera paint, finger paint, and lots of paper for painting for our pre-k classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kelly's classroom raised $150

This project is fully funded

Children love to paint and create beautiful works of art. I teach enthusiastic 18 pre-kindergarten children in a large, urban school in New York City. The students come from low-income families; all of the children receive free lunch. The children come from culturally diverse backgrounds and many come from homes where English is spoken as a second language. The children need to paint! They need to explore sensory materials and they also need to strengthen their fine motor skills. While they paint, a child can learn to plan and complete a project. Each child's unique artwork represents their experiences and ideas. I also believe painting develops pre-writing skills. The children are four years old, so it will also help them learn color recognition. I am asking for washable paint, fingerpaint and dot markers. I also need fingerpaint and easel paper. It is extremely important to integrate art into an early childhood program. The children would be free to use their imagination and the inner artistic ability that does exist in every child would come to fruition. I want to make sure I have the mediums to give these children an amazing year. I would even have enough supplies for next years' class as well. Please make this magical artistic journey possible. Thank you for reading my proposal.
