Shining Bright With Art, Building, and Friendship

Help me give my students meaningful hands-on experiences that spark creativity, foster collaboration, and connect learning to both academic standards and social-emotional growth.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Madrieres's classroom raised $545

My Project

Hands-on learning gives 4th graders the chance to turn wonder into discovery, and creativity into confidence. Materials like blacklights and red light flashlights transform ordinary lessons into magical moments of exploration. Legos allow students to practice engineering design and critical thinking while working together to solve problems and bring their ideas to life. Chalk pastels invite students to express themselves artistically, showing them that their voices matter not only in words but in colors and images, too.

Friendship bracelet supplies encourage patience, kindness, and belonging—showing students that our classroom is a place for building both ideas and connections.

These materials will spark joy, creativity, and collaboration, while also giving students the skills they need to thrive as learners and as friends.
