A New Year of Equity

Help me give my students books and materials to kickstart their new year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Miller's classroom raised $683

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help us jump into this new year with resolutions of inclusivity and equity! The diverse books were intentionally selected to help us learn about perspectives that are both alike and different from our own. Notebooks and other classroom supplies will give students what they need, without asking families for donations.

2024 will be our year to make learning more accessible to all!

We will use the TPT gift card for instructional materials for our learners who need a little extra support. We hope you can be a part of making our classroom a place where all are welcome and all students have access!
