Urban Kindergarten Artists Need Supplies

My students need two art drawing racks and two paint caddies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Burton's classroom raised $197

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our classroom quote is: "Si, se puede!" (Yes, I can in Spanish.)

An urban Seattle area school with 90% free and reduced lunch (but all receive free lunch, breakfast and daily fruit and vegetable snack), highly transitional EL population (I've lost and gained twenty kids this year).

Very sweet kids that are hungry for experiences and learning!

My Project

Our school is fortunate to pair with the Seattle Art Museum, and create art with them monthly on our Art Fridays. We recently went to the Kehinde Wiley exhibit and fell in love with his art. We have a daily unstructured play time and if I receive the donated items, I will be able to set up an art easel daily in combination with weekly and art projects.

My students love being creative.

It makes them so happy to be able to express themselves through art. Many of my students are not yet fluent English speakers, and art is an universal language they can use. The pride they feel when they create is evident among my children. This project will reach all of my kiddos regardless of their academic abilities, and will spread much joy. Thanks for considering.
