Hands-On Learning Cart: Craft Supplies for Creative Minds
Help me give my students a fun cart full of hands-on activities to do when they finish early in art class.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carter's classroom raised $614
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As an art teacher, I have witnessed the incredible creativity and imagination that my students possess. However, once they complete their art assignments, many of them are left with idle time. To foster their creativity and provide them with more hands-on learning opportunities, I am seeking funding for a cart filled with various craft supplies. This cart will include materials for making bracelets, playdough, weaving tools, button and sticker makers, and much more!
Goals of the Project
1. Encourage Creativity: By providing a variety of craft supplies, students will have the opportunity to explore their artistic talents and express themselves in new ways.
2. Promote Hands-On Learning: Engaging in hands-on activities helps reinforce the skills learned in the classroom. Crafting encourages fine motor skills, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
3. Foster Collaboration: Working on craft projects together will help students develop teamwork skills and learn to share ideas and resources.
4. Support Emotional Well-Being: Creating art can be a therapeutic outlet for students. It allows them to unwind and express their feelings in a constructive manner.
With your support, this project will provide students with the tools they need to continue their artistic journey even after their assignments are complete. The craft supplies will not only keep them engaged but also inspire them to explore different forms of art.
Investing in this hands-on learning cart will make a significant difference in my students' educational experience. It will empower them to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and work collaboratively. Together, we can inspire the next generation of artists and thinkers!
