Cultural Education and Self-Expression

Help me give my students materials for projects for creative self-expression and cultural education projects. Sticky dots, jewels, bracelet-making items, and goldfish will make it possible for my students to have full, fun, and engaging experiences.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tokumura's classroom raised $677

My Project

Help provide my students with materials. Sticky dots will help create language-rich environments.

Jewels and bracelet-making items will allow students to create art projects to express themselves.

Goldfish will supplement our cultural unit on Japan.

Prizes for the prize table will give my young students incentive and reward their hard work.

Stress and fidget toys will help decompress students in our calming corner. Students self-regulate their emotions and decide when they need to go to the calming corner. When there, they choose a fidget toy, stress ball, or stuffed animal to activate. Their Parasympathetic nervous system to calm down.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our project!
