My Project

Thank you for offering to help fill our art closet. Our first grade classroom is in need of supplies. My students love art but I just don’t have the art supplies needed. I’m hoping to tap into their artistic creativity and allow them opportunities to express themselves.

Having all the basics like paint, brushes, paper, and playdough will give each and every student the opportunity to express themselves.

Our day in first grade is busy with reading, writing, and math. I would love to allow them time to be creative.

Thank you!

Mrs. Bissell
Grades PreK-2
