Second Graders Need Color

Help me give my students the basic classroom supplies. Our current supplies are “well loved” and running out. Second graders need color and projects to engage them in every day activities.

My Project

My second grade class is in critical need of the basic art supplies that bring enjoyment to learning. My kids want to complete projects with vibrant colors that engage them in their learning. Our current construction paper supply is faded and has dwindled down to the dull unpopular colors. Students want to carry home art that shows their creativity and understanding. We also need the basics for storing individual supplies and folders that keep projects from getting crushed. Students want to create their own books that they can read from our authors chair. We have so much creativity and we need supplies to express it.
