2nd Semester in Kindergarten

Help me give my students markers, disinfecting wipes, Play-Doh, and other much-needed supplies for second semester.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mendoza's classroom raised $175

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 Project

Please help me provide some fun Valentine's day crafts for my kindergartners. They absolutely love to create things that they can take home. We also need more white board markers for when we practice our writing together since the markers from first semester have dried out. Wet wipes really help keep our classroom space clean and organized.

Play-Doh is always a much-needed item.

We use it for counting in math, creating letters during our reading groups, and just to have fun and be creative for brain breaks and on fun Fridays.
