Help me give my students the chance to explore and create their own creations!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $218
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My students are clean slates that are just beginning their school experience. These building and bug kits will allow my students to be creative and build their experiences through play and socialization. In our classroom we have several themes that allow students to become more independent in their play and learn ideas about how the world works. These items will help the get them closer to success! They will learn about building, caring for animals and the environment and how to make their very own creations with each one of these items. The opportunities will be endless!!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
