Mrs. White's classroom raised $852

Building Bright Beginnings in Kindergarten

Help me give my students an organized, engaging kindergarten classroom with hands-on learning materials, calming sensory tools, classroom supplies, rewards, and snacks that support learning, confidence, and success every day.

Mrs. White Southeast Raleigh Elementary School

Raleigh, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

Help me create a classroom where my kindergarten students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

My students are entering their first year of school and are full of curiosity, creativity, and a desire to explore the world around them.

As a teacher at a Title I school, I want to provide my students with the resources they need to feel confident, build independence, and develop a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

This project will provide organization tools, sensory supports, reusable classroom materials, rewards, and snacks that will make a meaningful difference in our daily learning. Sensory tools and calming resources will help students manage emotions and stay focused, while classroom organization materials will create a structured environment where students can easily access supplies and learn independence. Reusable learning materials and incentives will help make lessons engaging, encourage positive behaviors, and keep students motivated throughout the school year.

My goal is to create a welcoming kindergarten classroom where every student has the opportunity to succeed. Your support will help me give my students the tools they need to learn, grow, and have a successful first year of school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
