Help Mrs. B.

Help inspire the youngest generation of future architects and designers! I have just started up a brand new art program. As I am starting up the art studio from scratch, I need all the help I can get to supply art materials for our school.

Our youngest students learn through play and imagination. I would love for them to have wood pieces so they can make sculptures. My kindergartners love to build, and while they do so, they tell stories about what they are creating. At classroom play centers their constructions are temporary, as the blocks need to be cleaned up at the end of the lesson. In the art studio I want to give them the means to create lasting constructions that will allow their story to continue. While the students think that they are just having a good time, they are actually learning a vast array of skills. In addition to improving vocabulary skills by explaining their work, students develop their fine motor skills by stacking, balancing and gluing their wood sculptures. They learn to be patient in order to balance pieces, they learn to co-operate with their peers on larger constructions, they learn to share pieces, ask politely, discuss their ideas with others, and work sequentially. We will also use the wood constructions to teach design and observational drawing skills, as students will make drawings of their "draft" constructions before gluing their final versions.

To make this project a reality for the entire kindergarten (over 100 students) we need just wood pieces and glue.

You can bring joy, excitement and learning to my students, and possibly even give a start to the architects and designers of tomorrow!
