Crafting Change

Help me give my students these resources to help us during classroom instruction.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Faye Marie Ilano's classroom raised $599

This project is fully funded

My Project

As an international teacher, I want to prioritize crafting a positive learning environment. Key elements, a communal rug promoting unity, a diverse book collection fostering empathy and critical thinking, and book to enhance their writing skills, collectively contribute to a vibrant classroom atmosphere. The communal rug builds community, diverse books broaden perspectives, and writing exercises encourage hands-on engagement. Together, these elements ensure Building Bridges remains committed to empowering students for a transformative and fulfilling learning journey.

I want them to have access on vast resources to broaden up their perspective.
