With your help, students conceived of, drew, designed, built, layered, and decorated their sculptures. This year, some of the projects made were 3D flowers in Kindergarten, birds nests and birds in first grade, and oversized pencils in grade 6. Fifth grade used model magic to create ornate gold frames for their apple studies in the style of the renaissance. \r\n\r\nYour donation to visual arts projects makes a deep impact in each students' art education. The opportunity to build something from one's own hands and vision is such an important experience for every child, throughout the school year, and without your donations, these experiences are often not made possible within a standard school budget.

In these photos, you will see grade 2 mixed media butterflies at the top of the bulletin board, colored with chalk pastels purchased through your generosity. You will also see grade 6 Winter Windows, at the bottom of the bulletin board, featuring northern lights completed in pastel. And lastly, first grade artists created mixed media collages, using chalk pastels for their sky or water, and we later cut and pasted to create the final landscapes. \r\n\r\nStudents absolutely adore applying the bright, smooth colors, and blending them together. This beautiful alternative to painting gives many students a confident ability to practice color mixing in a more controlled, slow way.

With the new supplies, students in first grade last year have had experiences learning about butterfly habitats, planting seeds, creating butterfly habitat art, and planting seedlings out into our community garden. I will be repeating the unit with this years' first graders, as well. \r\nThe seed-starting supplies and butterfly/caterpillar habitat was an exciting addition to this unit on animal habitats. First grade students learn about animal habitats in their ELA curriculum, and our art curriculum draws connections to their reading and writing. By studying butterflies in the art room, we were able to plant seeds for a butterfly garden, and transplant the seedlings into the garden when they were ready. The students also got to observe caterpillars in the studio, and see them hatch into butterflies! Once transformed, we released the butterflies into our garden area.\r\n\r\nStudents absolutely loved the art-science connection, and our ability to have a hands-on encounter with butterflies, seeds, soil and plants was only possible due to your generous donations.

With the new supplies, students from kindergarten through 6th grade have had experiences using classic printmaking tools. \r\nIn addition to creating relief prints, students use the brayers often for a variety of painting applications and sometimes for rolling out clay and play-doh. Students love using \"rollers\" and having these standard tools in the art room elevates our creative experiences. \r\nOne great project second graders were able to accomplish was fulfilling a unit in printmaking and insects. Students drew a honey bee and transferred their drawing onto a foam printing plate with pencil. Then, the students cut out their bee, and used this printing plate to create multiple prints. These young students absolutely loved the artistic process of drawing and transferring, rolling ink and printing their design multiple times. As a result, we were able to create a whole hive of honeybees!\r\nThe best part about having ink, brayers, and printing foam, is the fact that these materials will serve students for years.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by numbers, steps, and materials, students now have structured systems that help them break down problems and stay focused from start to finish.\r\n\r\nWe are already seeing a powerful impact. Students are completing their work more efficiently, making fewer careless mistakes, and showing increased confidence when solving math problems. They are using their materials to organize their thinking—lining up numbers correctly, keeping track of place value, and following multi-step processes with greater ease.\r\n\r\nFor many of our learners, especially those who benefit from additional support, these tools are making a meaningful difference. Organization is often the key that unlocks understanding, and your donation has helped remove barriers that once made math feel frustrating or confusing.
