My Students

We can't paint because we don't have anywhere to dry our pictures!

I teach 19 prekindergarten students in a Title 1 program in an urban school.

The children we serve are primarily low income and through a screening process they are deemed "educationally at risk". My classroom includes a diverse group of children with various cultures and languages.

My Project

I feel that creative expression is essential and every child should have an opportunity to express themselves daily. In our classroom, we have a limited amount of space for the art center. We would like to give each child the opportunity to paint and express themselves; however we currently have no space for a drying rack. With the addition of this easel and the attached drying rack, we would have the opportunity to allow multiple children to paint each day!

If you are able to help us acquire this item, we would be very grateful.

I can't wait for the children to begin creating their own unique works and sharing them with others both at home and at school.
