This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are from Trotwood, Ohio. They come from low-income families who may live paycheck to paycheck. Students receive free breakfast and lunch at school each day.
This school has limited income to purchase new furniture and supplies for students coming to school for the first time.
Some of my students come to school with no supplies and without a backpack!
My kindergartners would love to have a classroom where they can explore, write, and color. Children should have a classroom that is clean and safe for their learning. However, the burden for purchasing supplies often falls on the teacher. The cost of school supplies for families that have multiple children can be a hardship to families' basic needs.
All children should have the opportunity to learn in a kindergarten class!
My Project
My students have a strong need to build in kindergarten. Please help me get more legos in my room. Kids need to learn through STEM creativity with the legos.
These kiddos love using their hands to create small towns and roads.
Children who are 5 or 6 learn through play— communicating, sharing and being a friend. This all builds upon SEL and oral development.
Students who can speak well will succeed in reading!!
Support my classroom by donating to my project that gives more than play in my kindergarten classroom.
More than half of 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
