Art for Little Artists

Help me give my students an art experience every day during center time.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kelly Lutz's classroom raised $634

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are from low income families in Akron, Ohio. I teach Pre-K with 18 students in the morning and 18 students in the afternoon. My four and five year olds are full of curiosity. I want to give them new experiences to help them achieve success.

My Project

We have center time every day. During this time, the children can create using art materials. I like to have a variety of materials for them to express themselves through art. We need more materials to make this happen. I want to support and foster their creativity and love for art. They need these kind of activities to help strengthen their fine motor skills. A majority of children haven’t had many art experiences because they are on their electronics. I try to give them as many experiences as they can.
