Help me give my students a learning environment that celebrates inclusion and communal support.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sloan's classroom raised $341

My Project

My students love to do art projects for every culture we learn about. Art allows students to approach learning in a very hands-on way, connecting them viscerally to historical ideas and objects. My students also love being able to connect to each other's histories and backgrounds through shared stories.

These books will help my students learn about each other and their communities in an easily digestible way.

I have English language learners who would benefit from bilingual support. Origami paper is versatile in creating items that represent various objects from many different regions. Markers are always necessary.
