My Students

My art students want to make a special recyclable project to make a difference in the world. We believe in turning trash and recyclable items into art, to help save our planet. We plan on making recycled book boxes to collect memories that we hold dear to our hearts.

My third to fifth grade art students are in a Title One School with 85% free lunch.

Doing special things together mean a great deal to my students. Since we are very limited in supplies, I need to be very creative. I ran across this project from Blick Art Supplies and loved the idea of making these special recycled book boxes. The supplies I am requesting come directly from the lesson plan Blick Art Supplies has on line. I feel that it would make a very special gift to give to their parents/guardians or loved ones. It will also be "green" to save our Earth.

My Project

My students care very much about their families, and doing a project that puts so much love into it will mean a great deal to them. These recycled book boxes will hold little trinkets of memories that they will place into it. It's a wonderful way of expressing who they are.

We hope that you support our project so that our students can share their personal memories with others.

We want to use our recycled book boxes to share a special moment in our lives. The items listed are all from the lesson plan posted on Dick Blick Supplies. If we receive these items it would be a huge asset to our art program. Our students need to express their feelings and emotions through art, as well as protect the Earth where we live.
