My Project
I teach art and technology to the most amazing students and I have a lot of them! This vibrant crew is in a STEM focused school in Washington State, which focuses highly on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This year is the first time that art has been offered, and what a joy it is to get to teach them art! They are so enthusiastic, so eager to try, and so creative. My school is an inner-city school that represents a variety of cultures. We have students who speak multiple languages and who have varying levels of financial need. Our school is deliciously diverse and a delight to be a part of.
Living a creative life is the focus in my classroom.
Whether we are working with technology or creating a visual art masterpiece, I strongly encourage kids to be creative. The students in my classes are excited to soak up all that they can, eager to try new things, and wildly proud of their successes.
My Project
One of the biggest challenges I have had this year is preparing materials for my 350+ students. It is a scramble to cut enough paper to be ready to set them free on their creative escapades. I teach a lot of students and they deserve to have materials ready for them at the start of their class. This paper cutter would be incredibly helpful to be able to have the supplies ready for the students and to not interfere with their pursuit to be fearlessly creative. Thank you so very much for considering a donation to this project!
