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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

Social Emotional Learning regulation is vital for 1st graders as they transition into a new grade. I want to ensure that my students feel safe in my classroom and tending to their Social Emotional Learning is a great start. Help me fund books and sensory objects for my Calm Down Corner in my classroom.

A warm, welcoming and organized classroom library makes for great readers.

I envision a library for my students where they are excited to be in and read in for a while. Help me fund bookshelves and storage cubes for my library. Thank you!
