Mrs. Araki from Wahiawa, HI is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Who Knew Paper Could Become So Many Things?

Help me give my students supplies that will enable them to use their imagination to create puppet shows, art displays, and more!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Araki's classroom raised $721

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to create things out of paper, tubes, and boxes. With their imagination, given time and resources, a mere piece of construction paper can become a boat, a plane, or even a city. A simple bag can become a puppet or hot air balloon! Tomorrow's leaders must learn to work creatively and collaboratively. Exploring creativity together is just the beginning!

The resources you are providing through this Donors Choose project will enable my students to explore, create, and share their limitless imagination with those around them.

Who knows, perhaps a future architect is in my room and is inspired my the materials your generous donation has provided.

Mrs. Araki Daniel K. Inouye Elementary School Grades PreK-2
