Science Builds Me Up

Help me give my students Science Viewers and an Ultimate Fort Builder for Imaginative Learning

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Marsh's classroom raised $287

This project is fully funded

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 Students

My students are goofy, silly, funny, emotional, frustrated, energetic, impulsive, and are craving someone to care about them. My classroom consists of students with special needs and students of mixed English Language Learners and general education students. This makes it difficult to meet the various needs of the students in my classroom. I do my very best to make each child feel special and like they CAN do it. My school has a very large population of low socioeconomic students, as well as children in shelters. It would be great to give these students a chance and an opportunity to meet their optimal potential.

My Project

No one could have predicted these difficult times we are facing. I am doing my absolute best to think outside the box and bring a world of imagination and creativity to my students.

I would love to bring smiles back to our kids' faces and create a secure space where they are free to be individuals.

I would love your help to put in the hands of my students super cool Science Viewers. After viewing all different insects, birds, sea life and habitats, they can use their imaginations to build their own habitat using the Fort Builder.

Your big hearts are so important right now and we are so grateful for the differences you make every day!

Ms. Marsh PS 8 Issac Varian Grades PreK-2
