My Project

Our school has a focus on the arts. As our youngest learners start school it is important to me to provide them with art integrated experiences. These materials will be used all year to strengthen students’ connection to our learning, express creativity and build fine motor skills in a sensory environment.

All of the materials are open ended, so they can be used in many ways with multiple projects.

I have included color materials and paint colors that we can use to learn about our many different skin colors and children and represent themselves and others in their art. The art drying rack will allow our class to save projects that take multiple sessions to complete or a place for messy or wet projects to dry, as we have limited counter space.

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
