Art Supplies Needed For Our Pre-K Kids!

My students need 21 various art supplies such as a laminating machine, paint cups, paint brushes, popsicle sticks, collage materials, paper punches, and glue. These materials are needed so the children can learn important Pre-K concepts and explore their creativity through art.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I work with wonderful, creative Pre-K children in a high need school. They love to create art work everyday. We also teach most of the Pre-K curriculum through music and art.

Unfortunately, our little artists are quickly using up the only materials I have left and due to severe budget cuts, our class will not get new materials anytime soon. It would be a shame to let such talented, creative children go without the art supplies they need to learn through art and use art as a creative outlet.

Our class needs many different types of collage materials such as pompoms, wiggly eyes, popsicle sticks, feathers, fluff balls, etc. We also need glue, painting materials, paper punches, and a class laminator (our old one has broken) to laminate our work so it will last a lifetime. Having these materials will allow the children to learn all subject areas through art and allow them to be the wonderful artists they are meant to be!

You can make it possible for my students to learn through hands-on art projects. They will have the supplies they need to explore their creativity and become wonderful artists! Please donate to this cause. Thank you!
