My Project

Our preschool students are developing their language arts skills through storytelling, nursery rhymes, and hands-on art projects. These activities will help them build vocabulary, improve listening and comprehension skills, and foster creativity. With your generous donation, we can provide the necessary materials to make these learning experiences even more engaging and effective for our young learners.

The funds will go toward purchasing essential materials, including colored paper, craft supplies, Cricut supplies, and other tools that will support our language arts and art projects.

These supplies will allow us to create vibrant storyboards, encourage imaginative play, and enhance our nursery rhyme activities.

This is important because preschool is the critical time for building the foundation for future learning, and language arts is at the heart of early education. By integrating art with stories and rhymes, our students will be able to express themselves more effectively, listen attentively, and develop a love for reading and writing.

Your donation will help to enhance storytelling activities with creative materials. Students will practice activities that will support language development through rhymes and songs and foster a love of learning through hands-on, art-based projects. This will provide opportunities for students to explore their creativity and express themselves.
