My Students

I teach PreK to a wonderful and amazing group of kids at a Title I school. I love working with my kids and seeing them learn and grow throughout the school year. My favorite part is to watch them grow from little people who don't even know their name to independent thinkers ready for anything. I want to ensure that I can continue to work with my students using amazing hands-on materials that they love. With your help, this can continue.

My Project

With supplies such as paint, crayons, and craft supplies, my artists will have the ability to be exposed to materials they may not have had before and realize that anything really can become a part of art.

Teaching a toddler to use paint and color can be a really fun and simple to set up a toddler activity that introduces a pretty solid life skill.

This project gives my students a chance to see how they can create their own art. These items will let my children be able to express themselves, take it home, and show it off for all to see.
