It is so great not to have to use watercolor sets that are falling apart and missing colors. All of the kids love working with watercolor! I have many watercolor projects planned for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Watercolor has so many different techniques, and kids are excited to create multiple pieces using all of these different techniques. We could not have done this without your support. Thank you so much for making a difference in my students' lives. I let them know about people donating, so they also get to see firsthand how thoughtful people are.

In 8th grade, later in the year, we will be using the chipboard to build 3D boom boxes from he 80's! In 7th grade, we will be using chipboard to make 3D letters from their name. In 6th grade, we made 3D stars to decorate our building for Veterans' Day. So many uses!
