Arts and Crafts will Save the Day!

My students need Play-Doh, Messy Mats, and dough tools in order to increase their motivation toward learning. This will also provide an opportunity for the child to express their creativity.

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.

My Students

Recently the school has begun a construction project and scaffolding is taking up much of the yard space. The children frequently encounter problems in the yard. Arts and crafts will provide a safe space both physically and emotionally, and help children release their creative energy.

Our students are third through fifth graders at a public school in a high poverty neighborhood.

Our student population is a beautifully rich and diverse mix of cultures and languages. Over 90% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Because of the neighborhood in which they grow up, they need school to be a safe learning environment that offers both challenges and an outlet for creativity. When they are given the opportunity, they constantly surprise their teachers with their ingenuity and brilliant ideas!

My Project

We are requesting various arts and crafts supplies to fill the gap between what is provided by the school and what the students are requesting. It is frequently heard in the classroom "Can we draw this?" "Can we paint that?" We would like the opportunity to say "Yes! of course you can!" to all of them. We need supplies including an assortment of Play-Doh, messy mats, and Play-Doh tool sets. When students are given the opportunity to express their thoughts through various mediums, they are able to stretch their thinking. When this is done in conjunction with a soothing environment that students choose to be a part of, there is no telling where these materials will take them!

It has been noticed that students tend to share and be more collaborative during creative situations like this; rather than putting each other down as is typically done in the yard.

Help us to promote these positive interactions through arts and crafts!
