Parents have asked in the past what we need, and it is a very special treat to have parents sponsor a project that is a bit too expensive for us to do on our own.  If you are ever interested in doing this, please let us know.  There are several  companies that offer kits for classroom projects.  You might like to look at some of the ideas for different seasonal things at:  http://www.ssww.com/order/arts/  or http://www.orientaltrading.com/otcweb/application?namespace=main  for ideas.  If you would like to split the costs of sponsoring a project, that would also be nice, too!
