My Project

Arts and crafts go a long way in managing the lengthy school day my 2nd graders experience daily. Already bursting with creativity, these art supplies will help my students express themselves and provide a creative outlet from the rigor of everyday academics.

I've seen increased engagement, sociability, and positivity when students are allowed to simply play.

These materials will provide my students with a variety of ways to create and build, allowing them to express themselves through art and creative play, in addition to keeping our classroom organized. Thank you for your support in encouraging arts in the classroom!
