The students have been engaged in expressing themselves through several different media. From weaving, to graphite transfers, to symmetrical origami art, to pinch pots, the students are making their own artistic decisions and building their self-confidence. \r\n\r\nYour donations have helped to create a classroom that is rich in art. The students have the materials they need to discover, experiment, and marvel. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. \r\n\r\nThrough art, they are able to take risks and express themselves in entirely different and important ways. Our classroom community is stronger because of it! \r\n\r\nWe are so grateful for the opportunities to learn, grow, and express our multi-faceted selves.","fullyFundedDate":1733269293579,"projectUrl":"project/express-yourself-art-and-confidence-bui/8971084/","projectTitle":"Express Yourself!

Everyday students are winding up the cords of their headphones, cleaning them with the Clorox wipes and putting them in their draw string bags. They have also found a great way of organizing them by numbers so they always know where to find them in the room.
