Help me give my students scissors, staple guns, and fingerpaint for a better learning environment, kinesthetic and progressive so they can be ready for the future
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kumar's classroom raised $297
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
I work in a community with a large population of underprivileged students. Most of them struggle with even putting food on the table. They would greatly benefit from hands-on activities.
I enjoy watching them light up each time there is an a-ha moment.
My Project
I work with special needs students and minority students from the lower income groups. These students have little in terms of supplies and resources. I will not shy away from doing activities with them. Many times I have spent money from my own paycheck in order to do activities with my students and bought necessary supplies from the nearby stores. I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my students have a healthy and plentiful learning environment. These supplies will go a long way to help my students thrive.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
