  • Drying Ain't Easy

    Funded Dec 31, 2019

    My students and I were so excited to see our new drying rack. It perfectly fit on the shelf. All my students are able to reach it without any problems.

    We completed some painting projects. I gave my class instructions to place their work on the drying rack once they were finished. Then go to the sink with their brushes to clean and was hands. Every student followed instructions and were excited to be able to independently clean after they finished.

    My next steps will be to continue to use the drying rack daily.”

    With gratitude,

  • All Together We Sit

    Funded May 23, 2018

    My students were so excited to see the carpet once it was delivered. Before receiving our new carpet we were sitting on a cold floor. We truly love our learning colors and shapes carpet.

    We use the learning colors and shape carpet on a daily basis. We use it to organize our dismissal and classroom procedures. We use it to play games and learn about colors and shapes.

    My Kindergarten classes will use the learning colors and shapes carpet to identify shapes. I will place my students on the carpet and have them look for shapes that use straight lines and others that use curved lines. We will learn about the primary and secondary colors by using the carpet to identify the colors. I personally love the carpet because I can tell my students to use the carpet to help you get ideas of what kinds of shapes and colors to use in your art work.”

  • The Things We Can Create with Clay Slabs!!

    Funded Feb 23, 2017

    Thank you so much for the SLAB ROLLER MINI-MIGHT 16. We use the roller during class to roll out slabs. We use the slabs to create all kinds of clay work. We were all so exited to try it for the first time.

    Watching my students with their delighted smiles and amazed eyes as they get to roll out their slabs brings joy to my day.

    During art class we have to do recess for 20 minutes, which allows us only about 40 minutes. There is usually not enough time for us to finish our projects. The slab roller has given us the time we need to create and finish our clay projects. We are going to continue to create things such as vessels, masks, and plates by using our slab roller. With the extra time we may even try to use extra materials such as colored slips and glazes.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Nesmith

The slab roller and texture rollers will be used in the art class to create Clay Castles. I will use these materials to teach my students about architecture and hand building. We will use the slab roller to create slabs for wall building. The texture rollers will be used to create textures on the castles. Having a slab roller will speed up the clay building process. With these materials all my students will have a chance to participate. My students will be able to build their own slabs faster and more evenly. We won't have to waste so much clay. We will have extra clay for extra projects!
