Bringing Social and Emotional Development Back to K!

My students need books and materials that support appropriate social and emotional development. My goal is to provide a productive and safe learning environment that accommodates all types of learners through new books and furniture.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wright's classroom raised $722

My Students

My students are extremely resilient! We are still in the process of overcoming Harvey. Our classroom is one of the only places where students have consistency right now, it's basically a home. Even without the devastation of Harvey, our school in an Acheive 180 campus and recently transitioned out of the IR (Improvement Required) status. We are also a Fine Arts Magnet school. My campus works hard everyday to provide our students with the best education, despite their zip code. Our children have grit and love coming to school.

My Project

These materials will make a difference for my students because they learn through reading and playing. Our library is in desperate need of books who have characters they can relate to and learn from. Julia Cook books address many aspects of healthy social and emotional development. Exposing children to problems and solutions they may face in their own reality may help them better critical thinkers and problem solvers. I also wish to provide a classroom environment that allows students may different sitting options. As free time is reduce our expectations of this young generation has significantly increased. However, these children still have energy to burn! I want to provide them with a healthy outlet to meet their sensory needs. We are also in desperate need of everyday storage to assist students with taking better care of classroom materials.
