My Project

Our first graders are bursting with creativity and are excited to create unique works of art.

We just need the right materials to turn their creative dreams into reality!

As we move into spring and the rest of this school year we will begin our incredible insect study. In addition to our regular art offerings during choice time, we will be creating insect collages inspired by our studies and the artwork of Eric Carle.

Help our class make stunning collages by providing us with high quality tempera paints, textured brushes and ice cube trays to store our custom mixed paints. We also need a drying rack to store our works in progress!
