My Students

I'm a 5th grade teacher in charge of a class of 25 beautiful souls. My students are inquisitive, bright, and full of love! They adore art and science, and have a real affinity for fiction books. We are currently in the middle of our year-long project, the 40 Book Challenge, in which each student will (hopefully) read 40 books by the end of the school year.

My students are kind, compassionate, and really funny!

Each morning, we have a Morning Meeting, which consists of shares, a game, and morning mindfulness. They love sharing funny stories about things that have happened in their lives, playing games like Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament, and quieting their minds and bodies before learning. They are a hilarious group of students who love to learn!

My Project

Oftentimes when we look at a a pack of crayons, we are lucky if any of the colors in it reflect our own skin tones. This project will help me provide crayons, markers, and color pencil that represent a variety of skin tones for my students.

As a teacher of a class with students that have a variety of skin tones, it is really important that they have art materials that reflect the skin they have.

My student love art and coloring, but often remark how they struggle to find crayons and other materials that represent their skin color. Thank you for considering donating to my project!
