Help me give my students a cozy, organized, and engaging classroom full of math tools, lights, and sensory supports.

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

As I enter my second year of teaching kindergarten, I’m working hard to create a warm, organized, and enriching space where my young learners can thrive. This project includes essential tools to support hands-on math learning, sensory-friendly items like noise-reducing headphones, cozy lighting, and fun rewards like mini erasers to motivate students. From place value blocks to shoelace-tying toys, every item is chosen to help students grow academically and socially. With your support, I can build a nurturing, joyful classroom where students feel safe, engaged, and excited to learn each day.

Ms. Cohen Kenton Elementary School Grades PreK-2
