Bringing the Fun Into Our Third Grade Classroom!

Help me give my students picture books, classroom and art supplies, and party decorations.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shigenaga's classroom raised $664

This project is fully funded

My Project

COVID-19 has really impacted the learning of my third graders. The group of students I have now started kindergarten online and in their 3rd/4th quarter went back to in person learning. This has really impacted their social/emotional learning, academics, and simple things like handwriting, cutting and gluing.

These books, craft/classroom supplies, and party decorations will help with all students continue their social-emotional and academic learning in my classroom.

We will use the books for read alouds to engage students, the craft and classroom supplies to help assist in their learning, and party decorations to celebrate all of our achievements we make throughout the year!
