My school is in a very low income area with limited English. Many of my students come to school as a place to come and experience their childhood. My classroom is a place where I want them to feel good about themselves and feel safe. With the games and art supplies I'm requesting, I hope to give my students an opportunity to practice their skills but in a fun and relaxing way. Each week I like to reward my students with fun activities that are purposeful. I like to thank you in advance for your donations to my class.
