FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Viernes's classroom raised $997

My Project

COVID-19 has affected many students returning to in-person learning. To be successful, students need to be prepared and ready to learn with basic school supplies. Colored construction paper and cardstock will help my students create art projects and fun lessons that I can print using colored ink. The prizes for my treasure chest will motivate students to do their best and the snacks for recess will keep my students happy till lunch. Finally, the STEM building kits would be a great addition to my centers that will encourage students to work together and communicate while using positive behaviors.

These materials will help my students continue their social-emotional and academic learning in light of COVID-19.

This project will give all my students the materials they need to be long-time learners and help close the gap created due to the pandemic.
