  • Let's Express Ourselves!

    Funded Oct 12, 2023

    I want to thank you for your generous donation. It means so much to my students and myself. Now days in education it is hard to get the things you need for hands on learning. I believe students should be exposed to so many experiences and opportunities. This is how they learn, and these are the things they remember. I also think giving them opportunities to create and express themselves through what they create is wonderful. Kids need a positive self esteem. Giving them opportunities to share what they create helps do that. Thank you!”

  • Hands-On Art!

    Funded Dec 2, 2024

    Thank you so very much for your generous donation. My students just love to create and be very creative. It is amazing what they can do when they are given the tools to do it. It makes my heart happy when they are so proud of what they create. Thanks so much!”

  • Let’s Get Our Hands Dirty!

    Funded Aug 16, 2023

    I want to thank you for your generous donation. My students get so excited when they can create something of their own. They love to share what they create, and get super excited when they can bring it home. Having the supplies they need like paint, canvas's, paper, brushes, and other supplies you donate makes this happen. Many of my students have such a low self esteem or are so insecure with themselves. Doing art changes this- makes them so proud. I always share there is no right or wrong way to do art. The art they create is unique and their own.”

Students learn best hands on. Many students have a hard time sitting for long periods of time so I really want the resources Available for them if they need a sensory break or just need a minute break from what we are doing. I do learning labs everyday in my classroom- students can pick the lab they want to learn in each day. The labs include: dramatic play, block, manipulative, science, sand and water table, art, listening/book and writing lab. These labs get changed on a weekly basis. It is important to have the resources so I cN change them to things the kids love. I will use this project to provide things for my labs.
