The art smocks are already covered in paint which is wonderful. This means the students' clothes are protected and parents don't have to stress about stain remover. My students get so excited to see the box of smocks coming down because that means they get to create art and get messy. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, we have made some beautiful art using the dot markers and watercolor paper. The watercolor paper is so important because it's thicker than normal paper and helps the kindergarten projects stay nice and bleed free.","fullyFundedDate":1744740731161,"projectUrl":"project/new-supplies-for-kindergarten-artists/9105170/","projectTitle":"New Supplies for Kindergarten Artists","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Vink","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8282140_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642657582424","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8282140"},{"teacherId":8404881,"projectId":8894345,"letterContent":"Making gingerbread houses is a fun and educational activity that benefits students' learning in various ways. It encourages creativity and artistic expression as students design and decorate their houses, applying principles of color, symmetry, and pattern. The process also introduces basic STEM concepts, such as geometry, engineering, and problem-solving, as students construct stable structures and measure dimensions. Collaborative efforts foster teamwork, communication, and conflict resolution skills, while the activity's connection to cultural traditions enhances students' global awareness. \r\n\r\nIn addition, working on a gingerbread house strengthens fine motor skills, patience, and attention to detail, promoting both cognitive and emotional growth. By integrating creativity with practical learning, making gingerbread houses provides a multidisciplinary and engaging way to develop valuable skills.\r\n\r\nThank you for all the donations to make this project extra magical during this time of year.
