Help! Our Art Room Is in Desperate Need of Life!

Help me give my students the most creative school year possible, coming off being home for Covid for almost two years, and hearing kids tell me they don’t have crayons or markers to colors is sad.

My Project

What I love about my students, is how creative they are! They enjoy being able to explore and use the different art materials, like sponge, paint brushes, new paper etc! And I love at the end of most of all my classes is cab I take a picture home to color it do I have extra crayons! Yes yes yes!!!!! Here in our cart we have different materials that will help my kids thrive in art class! We were not able to get all materials needed at the begging of the year!
