Mrs. Cavin from Redding CA is requesting instructional technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Classroom Crafting!

Help me give my students the gift of Christmas. Many of my students are from economically challenged homes and do not have a lot to look forward to and I want to make this their best Christmas ever!

My Students

My students are bright and curious! They love hands-on, interactive learning! They love to apply their knowledge to the real world and explore new avenues of connection! I have so many talented artists and they love to create! Many of my students do not have the resources at home to do arts, crafts, and stem projects and I want to make sure I provide that in the classroom to continue to feed the fire of their curiosity and wonder! I want to create an environment that they look forward to everyday and can’t wait to see what we are about to create and learn that day! My students are so inquisitive and I love their curiosity of the world around them. Many of my students are struggling due to the circumstances. I want to keep their joy of learning alive and on fire. This is truly a wonderful class and I want to do all that I can to continue to spark their curiosity for new things and feed their young minds.

My Project

This project will utilize holiday crafts for the students to have hands on projects that are fun and engaging, sensory tools to aide them in their learning, games to enhance the learning content, and holiday fidgets for the students to take home this holiday. This year has been tough on everyone, but I teach in a community that is economically challenged and these students have felt the effect of 2020 in a very difficult way. The majority of my students do not have a lot at home and do not have much to look forward to. I want to make this holiday season something extra special for them to look forward to with special holiday crafts, hands on learning activities, and even gifts to send home with them for the holiday break. I want this holiday to be a time that they can truly get excited about and forget about the hardships around them. These crafts, games, and resources will deepen the students learning experience, allow the students to be able to create gifts for their loved ones, and create joy and happiness amidst a very difficult time.
