Joy and Learning to Our Kindergarten Class with Holiday Gifts

Help me give my students fun and educational gifts for our kindergarten students, such as books to take home, to make them feel loved and valued while also supporting their learning and development during special times.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ventura's classroom raised $222

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

By supporting this project, you will help us give each child a holiday gift bag filled with engaging and enriching items. The holidays are a special time, and I want to ensure my students feel loved and appreciated by providing them with fun and educational gifts for them to take home when school is not in session.

These gifts will directly benefit students in our classroom throughout the year for winter holiday gifts for students to take home.

These gift bags will include tic-tac-toe games that promote critical mathematical thinking and strategy skills in a fun and interactive way.

We’ll also include coloring books, which are not only enjoyable but also help students express their creativity and provide a calming, emotionally soothing activity. Seasonal stickers will teach children about the different seasons through a fun, hands-on, and kinesthetic experience.

And finally, our kindergarten class loves Pete the Cat and will cherish taking home a book of their own to read and enjoy!
