The materials and resources provided gave my students the freedom to express themselves in ways that were not previously possible. Many of my students come to class with different experiences, emotions, and perspectives, and art provides them with a safe and supportive outlet to explore and share those feelings.\r\n\r\nBy having access to these new supplies, students were able to experiment with color, texture, and form beyond the limitations of traditional tools. This freedom of expression allowed them to take more ownership of their creativity and feel pride in their work. It also helped them build confidence, as they realized their ideas and stories were valued and could be communicated through art.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThis donation did more than provide supplies—it empowered my students to find their voices, release their imaginations, and truly free their minds so that their art could follow.","fullyFundedDate":1742510697729,"projectUrl":"project/free-your-mind-and-the-art-will-follow/9188058/","projectTitle":"Free Your Mind and The Art Will Follow!!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Ferguson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6261730_orig.jpg?crop=1266,1266,x0,y118&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723845597365","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6261730"},{"teacherId":10009990,"projectId":9303166,"letterContent":"My students and I are using our new classroom resources daily!

We started the year by reading a story everyday and it quickly became their favorite part of each day so we have continued it. \r\nAs the year progresses the students will begin to read simple stories by themselves or at least be able to pick out common words.

In this shelf, I have put all the resources that my students could possibly need for their daily tasks. They use the boxes to find crayons, scissors, glue, markers, and a multitude of other things. These supplies are used daily so the shelf allows for easy access. \r\nMy students truly enjoy having an area that is designated to them. This shelf is low so it is easy access for my kindergarteners. It has a pencil sharpener, extra pencils, crayons, and glue sticks on top for their daily needs. The students know that they can go at any time to refill their crayon boxes or grab another glue stick. \r\nMy goal is to eventually teach the students how to take the supplies from the shelf and set up their own independent centers. Centers in kindergarten are hard to learn because they are not only working on implementing the new skill of the week, but also learning to be independent. Learning how to use this shelf with their supplies for centers is our next project. I will be able to teach independence yearly with this shelf as a supplies station.
