My Project

My students need some basic art materials to refill and restock the studio classroom. The paint, paper, and brushes will provide the clean slate my students need in a new school year to illustrate their stories and to express their feelings about returning to school after summer break. The craft supplies will refill some empty spots in our craft cabinet left after a year of multicultural and cross-curricular projects last year. The tempera sticks help our students with special needs as they keep colors bright without the safety concerns of some other mediums.
