My Project

My kindergarten students are energetic, curious, and full of creativity! Every day, they explore the world around them through hands-on learning, and art is a key part of their development. They love expressing themselves with colors, shapes, and textures, but our classroom lacks the supplies needed to bring their imaginations to life.

Art helps young learners develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and confidence in their creativity.

With your support, I want to provide my students with essential art supplies, including crayons, markers, paint, brushes, paper, and other materials that will allow them to explore and express themselves freely.

These materials will not only be used for art projects but also integrated into math, literacy, and science activities. Whether they're illustrating their favorite story, creating a counting activity, or exploring textures in a science experiment, these supplies will help make learning more engaging and meaningful.

Many of my students do not have access to art supplies at home, so our classroom is their opportunity to create and explore. By funding this project, you will give them the tools to build confidence, develop skills, and experience the joy of artistic expression.

Thank you for believing in the power of creativity and helping my kindergarteners color their world!
