One area my students struggle the most with is having the supplies to create fun and exciting projects that go along with the common core curriculum that I teach. All of the items I am requesting will assist them in making learning fun and enjoyable. I love seeing their smiling faces when they successfully create a project that goes hand in hand with our curriculum. For example, when reading the Kissing hand, we love to make a matching raccoon along with a writing piece to help connect to prior knowledge. Also, fun and exciting games like Connect Four will allow the kids to work with one another and learn that games are about having fun and not about winning or losing. They will learn the concept of number sense at the same time. Please assist us! We will be ever so grateful. My Art students are divided into 4-5 groups, each named after a color. These color coded caddies and trays will make it possible to give my students all the supplies they need for a project in just a few seconds. They will also help my students cleanup more efficiently, saving valuable class time! Organization is essential for students to be successful. These organizational items will help my students to get their supplies faster and make clean up time more efficient, allowing them to spend more of their class time working on their projects. My students need art caddies to organize and store art materials. My art budget has been drastically cut in the past year. Without the help of generous donors, we can not afford even the most basic supplies. Please help me to get my students the supplies we need for a successful art program.
