Project Title: Art with Character Development
Amount to Raise: 300.00

What do you plan to do? What is the purpose of this project? Why do you think this is important?
I would love to purchase books and puppets for Character Development, Social Emotional, and Growth Mindset for my classroom. This is my first year implementing Character Development for grades K-5 with art. This is also my first school year in the art classroom. I have only listed books. This is the first time in fourteen years of teaching that I am seeking financial help for my students so they can have access to the best books for my standards. I think this is important since the effect and affects of Covid and the many changes in our society, our students are struggling more than ever with social emotional, character development, manners, and social skills. My school has seen an increase of discipline since Covid and yet there is not enough time for teachers, counselors, school leaders, parents, and stakeholders to help our students improve upon these needs.
