Building Empathy and Inclusion in Our Classroom

Help me give my students social-emotional learning resources, as well as materials that promote equality and celebrate diversity, to help my students build empathy, understanding, and a stronger, more inclusive classroom community.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Charles's classroom raised $435

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

I love that my students come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to our classroom every day. They are kind, curious, and eager to learn not only about academics but also about the world and each other. The resources I’m requesting will help them build stronger social-emotional skills like empathy, self-awareness, and resilience. They will also support lessons that celebrate diversity and teach the importance of equality and inclusion. With these tools, I can create a classroom environment where every student feels seen, valued, and empowered to succeed—both academically and personally.
