My Project

As an educator dedicated to nurturing young minds, I believe that the classroom itself acts as a guiding force for early childhood learners. Establishing a warm and responsive classroom culture is vital in ensuring that students not only feel secure and appreciated, but also have the opportunity to flourish academically.

I am kindly seeking your assistance in crafting a cozy and inviting learning space for my early childhood students.

For many of these young learners, stepping into the classroom marks their first in-school experience. I am asking for your support in purchasing soft, colorful carpeting, some comfortable seating for our class library, and a teepee for our cozy corner. These materials will allow me to create a space for my students that can support my students social-emotional needs, while enhancing their first formal in school experience.

Your support will make a significant difference in creating a nurturing environment where my students can thrive. My students and I thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

Ms. Digenakis PS 84 Steinway Grades PreK-2
