Wish List

It's not time to be sending Santa a wish list but I thought I would post an ARTS WISH LIST here for those wanting to contribute to our classes.

Art is posed with a unique challenge--restocking the supplies. What we buy, we use, and we need to restock our supplies to keep the lessons interesting, involved and contunue to expose the children to a variety of mediums. In a few short weeks we have used: HB art pencils, paper, brown paper bags, four rolls of double sided tape, butcher paper, markers, crayons, 4 packs colored pencils--completely used to little tiny nubs, chalk, charcoal, and sepia colored crayons, three rolls of paper towels, and two tubs of Clorox wipes. You can imagine how fast supplies could disappear with 375 students each week!

First, I want to thank all the families who sent in paper bags for our Paleolithic Cave Art lesson (blog coming soon) and want to thank Allie Araya for donating boxes of quality art paper in various sizes for upcoming projects. Thank you!

If you can donate any of the items, small or large quantities, it would be greatly appreciated by our little artists and myself. They LOVE having the opportunity to explore with new art tools.

Typically, I set up in 4 or 8 table stations. Any supplies in those combinations work really well for organization and lesson planning. For example, each table (6 students) would get a packet of crayons to share or each group (3 students) would get a packet to share.
