Mrs. Soto from Summerville SC is requesting lab equipment through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Classroom Decor

Help me give my students vinyl to decorate their classroom along with the tools needed to make the vinyl cuts! Twinkle lights to set a calm classroom vibe, and an air purifier to clean our air!

My Students

My students come to school every single day with such a desire to learn. The students who enter my classroom come from a variety of backgrounds. Several of the students I teach come from low-income families, making our free and reduced lunch rates increasingly high.

For some of my students, their safe space is being at school where they are nurtured and loved no matter their differences.

When given the chance and the resources needed, I feel my students will overcome and triumph in any given situation.

My Project

Students will feel more relaxed in the classroom with the lights dim and the twinkle lights on. The classroom will smell fresh and clean from the air purifier. Especially during this time of Covid and now the flu season upon us this will come in handy! I love having the students help me in the decorating process of coming up with ideas to decorate, and with them being able to help design a sticker to out on the wall will have much more meaning than a store bought poster. I have also added some erasable pens to use in the classroom for the me and the students.
