Books, Games, and Art Fun!

Help me give my students a more positive classroom experience. We are growing our classroom library with more books, adding games for Fun Fridays and indoor recess, and stocking up on a few art supplies for creative projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Acuna's classroom raised $685

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

Every child who walks into my classroom brings unique strengths, interests, and learning needs. Expanding our classroom library means more engaging books at the right levels to spark a love of reading. Board games enhance social skills and are perfect for Fun Fridays and indoor recess. Additional games mean more choices and joy for everyone. I am also hoping to offer more creative outlets for my artistic students. Your support will help create a richer, more inclusive classroom environment where all students can thrive. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful difference!
