Creativity in the Library/Media Center

Help me give my students paint, clay, glue, a Karaoke machine, and more for art and music in the library!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ojalvo's classroom raised $336

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Library/Media center program is where the students work to research a topic and then create digital or print reports. These reports include artistic representations of the information being presented. This involves working with all types of art and building supplies. Depending on the grade, a student might need clay to build Native American sculptures or glue to lay down construction paper for a diorama. The possibilities are always changing and growing based on their creativity.

These essential, yet consumable, art/building supplies need to be replenished.

My students need these art supplies so that they can continue to make beautiful multimedia projects about animals, people, countries, and more.

In addition, at the end of the unit, we do presentations to the families. A Karaoke machine is just what the students need to clearly be heard during their oral reports. And, when the presentations are through, we will use the machine to play music while we snack together to celebrate their achievements!
