Your generosity through DonorsChoose has made a meaningful and lasting difference in our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classroom.\r\n\r\nBecause of you, our students now have access to an incredible indoor/outdoor painting center, a much-needed art drying rack, and waterproof smocks that help keep our little artists clean while they create. These materials have transformed the way we approach art in TK. We now have the space, tools, and freedom to explore creativity in a hands-on, joyful, and developmentally appropriate way.\r\n\r\nThe painting center has quickly become a class favorite! The students light up when it's time to paint, and it's amazing to watch their imaginations come alive. The drying rack has given us a dedicated space to safely display their beautiful work while keeping our classroom organized. And the smocks? A total game changer—students can now paint freely without worrying about their clothes, and parents appreciate the extra care we're taking, too.\r\n\r\nThanks to your kindness, art has become a more regular and accessible part of our day. Our classroom is filled with color, creativity, and confidence. These resources support not just fine motor development, but also self-expression, problem-solving, and emotional growth—all essential parts of early learning.\r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for your support.
