My Project

After the devastating fire in Lahaina, most of my students have lost their homes, and live in hotels. They have lost all their toys, games, and books.

I have asked for small toys, Lincoln Logs, manipulatives, comfortable floor pillows, markers, storage bags, and craft items, hoping that these items will bring some sense of normalcy to my students' young lives.

Hands-on learning is the best way for the students to develop life skills and form lasting friendships.

With these resources, we can work/play together as a school family. We are coming together as a class and having fun in the classroom. The resources in this project will help students form better relationships and enjoy coming to school.
