Creating Colorful Learning Experiences and a Strong Classroom Community

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Haywood's classroom raised $308

This project is fully funded

My Project

The topic of social-emotional learning is constantly being discussed amongst the faculty, or implemented in daily learning experiences. It takes a lot of tenacity and excitement to maintain the attention of our current upcoming generation of students

These crafty materials will help me create exciting instructional lessons that spark the’ interest of my students.

Group activities that include colorful materials are always great opportunities for developing a healthy classroom climate throughout the year since they give students the chance to connect with their classmates and learn about their mutual interests.

Your support will help me provide my students with learning activities that give them insight about themselves, and the people in their school community.
