Funded Apr 21, 2022My students were delighted to use the materials made available to them with your kind donations!
They were so used to the red, yellow, and blue matte tempera paint that had to be mixed to get the right color that when they saw the new paints, they were so surprised. My students had never used acrylic paints in our classroom and they were excited to see all the new colors available.
Since we did not have access to glazes, students used acrylic paint on their ceramic sculptures. Using the varied colors of the paint saved them time since they didn't have to mix specific colors, this allowed them to focus their time on adding patterns and details to their sculptures.
The paint provided was also used on political posters and will continue to be used on future projects.
The political posters were a mixed media project and students were allowed to use yarn as well as other materials.
Students also used the yarn and other materials made possible by your donations to make dreamcatchers. My students were so excited to create something they were able to display in their rooms or even gift to family and friends.
I firmly believe that seeing new materials in our classroom motivated my students to do their best on their assignments, so I want to thank you again!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Villegas
