Help support Ms. Moniz's Classroom

My project is many-fold. As we begin hybrid learning, this week, after more than a year of being cooped up in distance learning, the main goals are to build community, to celebrate diversity, to foster empathy, and to stoke my students' curiosity about, and reference for, the natural world. Most of the activities will be accessible to both distance and on-campus learners. We will read, write, talk, and draw about the experiences of others. We will make personal connections between the stories we read, our own lived experiences, and the lived experiences of those we care about. I will work to amplify my students' voices, through reading, writing, and drawing activities that highlight their own unique identities, and that promote self-love and self-respect. I will encourage their creativity and their passions, by providing a variety of (primarily) reading-, writing-, and identity-related art and crafting activities (including putting their own personal stamps on our classroom design!). Finally, I intend to revive a community garden that sits, neglected, outside of our classroom window! We will create beauty for us to enjoy, along with students and teachers from other classrooms, and a plethora of local pollinators. Perhaps, in the future, we will even be able to provide our community with fresh produce! I have purchased a ton of supplies out of pocket, and could really use some assistance with the rest. I want to celebrate each and every one of these remarkable young people by creating spaces and activities that are filled with wonder, whimsy, compassion, excitement, curiosity, imagination, and awe!
