My big innovative creators love having options. Basic school supplies are definite necessities for success. Great plans, books, and million dollar ideas often start with just a pencil and paper. We will use these materials to create and design numerous class projects. My students come from a very low economic area and our schools are limiting basic supplies we need. I often choose to buy materials for my students because I feel they deserve it. I would appreciate any help that one can make. My students love to be active and creative. When it comes to learning the standards, we like to learn by creating, inventing, retelling, or writing. We need paper, scissors, glue, and various art supplies to help us be successful. My Project My students need basic educational supplies like scissors, glue, glitter, colored paper, crayons to make booklets, and lots of tagboard for cooperative group projects. Help us acquire the basic school supplies we need to inspire ourselves and others. Picasso could not have painted without paint. Michelangelo could not have sculpted David without clay. Please help us get these supplies, we need and will use them daily. Busy hands and being emerged into the curriculum through the creative process helps students grasp new material with ease. These materials will definitely open the creative juices and supply us with the things we need to be great thinkers, solution seekers, and forever creators.
