Color Me Beautiful!

Help me give my students colorful tools to be happy when doing their work and sharing with others!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Z's classroom raised $218

This project is fully funded

My Project

The children will use these colorful supplies to learn about different standards for reading and math by creating their own pieces to chill and be peaceful about their upcoming testing.

Color means joy!

My children get so happy and joyful when they get to use the colors and I want them to be an everyday luxury. I associate happiness with color and so do my kids. I want them to feel joyful in their work. I want them to be proud of their work and color makes that happen easily.

Please help us enjoy our learning and pushing forward into the world with happiness and color!
