Most of my families are from low income households and rely on our school to feel safe and to express themselves. The materials in this project will allow everyone a chance to express themselves no matter the hardships their family is facing at this time. The markers, crayons, colored pencils, scissors are all seen as basic supplies in Kindergarten, but in these hard times we are desperately in need of them. These materials will allow my students to be artistic and creative in their own way. By having these materials, it will allow my students to express themselves in a fun and nurturing way!
