• My Family Cookbook Written, Illustrated and Made by Me!

  Funded Nov 30, 2021

  Students are very thrilled to have a hard cover blank book to make their family cookbook. This is a very special project and they are rushing to start it and finish it for the holidays as a present for their mother. Thank you for funding this so quickly so students can work on them now. Once the project was funded within 4 days the books were shipped and received.

  Some students have chosen to make theme cookbooks of recipes from the games they play and this one particular student loves to draw characters from this video game. It should be a lovely book when she is finished. Students will keep these hand made cook books for a long time and use when they are older.

  Thank you for your help in making this project possible.”

• Title I School Drawing Portraits for Orphans in Sierra Leone

  Funded Jul 30, 2021

  Thank you for funding drawing orphan portraits for orphans in Sierra Leone. We do this project every year and each year it is the most important project we do with students giving their drawings to orphans in different countries.

  We would not be able to do this project without DonorsChoose funding. Thank you for your help in making this project a go. We will start this project in January as I get funding for each student to draw their own orphan. I have a classroom wall of portraits done by students each year from countries around the world. This is an art project were students learn to draw portraits, learn geography, connect with a student in a different country and the results is an orphan gets their portraits drawn by an American student. It's the best for all participants and your donation make this possible.”

• Wow! My Own Art Supplies for in Person Art Class!

  Funded Jul 29, 2021

  Thank you for supporting students getting their own art supplies and a mesh bag for them to keep their supplies in. I'm so glad that I can now get this packet together for them to received their first day of school and we can get started creating right away. So much is lost not having a creative outlet and not the right materials.

  Having their own materials will be necessary for students as they cannot share supplies this year. Students at this title one school will get their own art supplies to keep when there is no extra money at home for most students to get their own things.

  Your donation made this possible for these students and I thank you for your donations to bring this project to fruition sooner than I expected.”

• Displaying Students Art they Created about Black History Month!

  Funded May 12, 2021

  Thank you for funding the materials to display students "Black History month" artwork during distance learning. There were 4 boxes of different color boards, laminating plastic to go over their art work to protect them and spray adhesive. Everything that was ordered was perfect and used.

  I printed their artwork from their digital portfolios online, on the school color printer I have at home in distance learning. The colors were outstanding and the mat boards brought out the color in their artwork. Students got to keep these drawings they did for "Black History month" in distance learning.

  Thank you for your support of displaying students art that they created in Black History Month. I also made a virtual art show of their work and shared this with families as well.

  Without your financial support we could not have displayed their work.

  Thank you!”

• Exchanging Drawings With Nigerian Kids & Practicing Anti-Racism With Art!

  Funded Apr 21, 2021

  Thank you for funding this rewarding project for students at this title one school. They got so much out of learning about Nigeria and then drawing art to send to students in Nigeria. Students told me it was their favorite project. We could not have done this project without Donors Choose funding.

  22% of the art students are African American and it meant a lot to them to study African art and then to connect with Nigerian students by exchanging their drawings. They also got to keep the Nigerian students drawings. I hope to do this project next year with students in Africa as it adds a kindness to the art class which is needed with middle school students..

  Thank you for your support in practicing anti-racism with art.”

  Thank you for funding colorful art instruction pages that will make a book for students in distance learning. I have sent out the first page with the spring packets and I am waiting for all the students to pick up their packets at school before starting to work on this small colorful book.
