Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 540

Thank you so much for investing in my classroom! Students are using most of the new materials while others will be saved for next year.

All students are now using our new paintbrushes, which were much needed! Our previous ones were looking worse for wear.

In Art Club, students had a BLAST using our new Model Magic colors.

Some of the new glue sticks were used for my Kindergarten lesson where they had to cut out ladybugs and grass from construction paper!

We have not used the Kwik Stix yet, I'll likely save them for next year since they are so expensive and there is only one month left of school. I am SO excited to use them though because you can paint without having such a mess to clean up afterwards and the colors are so vibrant!

Again, thank you so very much!

- Ms. Ganthier

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To supply my classroom with additional/new supplies to help carry us through to the end of the school year!

What will be done with my students

We will use these products to engage in various quality art lessons. We are in desperate need of some new paint brushes and glue sticks and need a healthy stock of them. We are also in need of Model Magic for our clay unit, and clay is the most expensive art supply there usually is. I also plan to utilize/experiment with Kwik Stix for many new art lessons as I have been told they are WONDERFUL for painting with students.

Benefits to my students

Students will have access to brand new supplies as well as new ones they have never used before.

Describe the Students

Our school is 70% Hispanic/Latino, so we have many ESE/ESOL learners on campus. We are a Title I school as well, so student families are often low income and/or part of the free or reduced lunch program. They are so enthusiastic about coming to art, so I wish to give them better supplies to use!

Budget Narrative

All supplies will be used in accordance with the Pinellas County School's Elementary Art Curriculum for various painting/drawing, sculpture/ceramic, printmaking, and mixed media projects to be done with students.
