Your donation allowed them to have an even more organized and comfortable creative learning experience. Our classroom isn't big enough to accommodate easels, and working on tabletops isn't always the best for their posture, their ability to make wide strokes, and their view. So having portable drafting boards and clips that they were able to angle upward made a world of a difference. Some students used it more consistently than others, and some found it necessary to use every day. \r\nDuring the fourth quarter as their culminating project, our 7th, 8th and TAV 5th and 6th grade artists participated in a painting gallery.
