I have lots of energetic first graders in my class and I would love to bring art into my classroom! Teaching in Chicago, our school budgets were cut drastically! Our students no longer get to enjoy art classes at our school. I would love for my class to have various art materials so they can let their imaginations flow. I feel that the students really need time away from the ordinary classes like math and reading to explore their creative sides. That is why I am asking for your help in this mission! These various art supplies will be used for creativity and imagination in my classroom. The materials that I am requesting include: glue, tissue paper, finger paints, and a collage box. The collage box contains hundreds of hands-on art supplies that the students can use to decorate their artwork. I can tell you that my students love drawing and coloring. I know that for many of them, this is as far as their art experiences will go. I would love for all of my students to excel in their art skills. Who knows, maybe one day they will become great artists!
