Back to Basics!

Help me give my students an amazing kick off to the new school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Henry's classroom raised $523

This project is fully funded

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.

My Project

The supplies for my project, Back to Basics will be used to jump start the school year with students. The first term for my Pre-Kindergarten through 1st grade students, we do a unit called "All About Me" and the multi-color crayon and pencils allows students to actually demonstrate how they see themselves in color.

Stickers are a great way to reward students for good behavior, their kindness, sharing, caring and their great work in class.

The desk organizer catties will help with keeping the supplies together at the students reach and not have a lot of moving around the room.
