My Project

Art is an essential piece of a preschool classroom. For some students, preschool is the first time they will use scissors and a glue stick. In our classroom, the students are creative and eager to learn. Art projects act as an outlet for students to express their creativity as well as connect to the lessons at hand.

Besides being an outlet for student creativity, crafts in preschool offer students a chance to work on skills like cutting, tearing, gluing, and folding which are skills they will use for the rest of their lives!

By donating to this project, you will be helping supply our students with the construction paper to create projects that will be displayed in our classroom and also taken home to enjoy with families. Our class is extremely grateful for any donation towards this project!
