Help me give my students sets of markers, STEM model sets, and 3D puzzles to color and build.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Purcell's classroom raised $309
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
I am thrilled to be teaching math and science to my incredible sixth graders this year! These are my favorite subjects, and I just love this age group. My students are enthusiastic about learning new things and are full of energy!
Our school has a spectacular staff and incredible community support.
Even though we are located in a low socioeconomic area, it is clear that parents want the best for their children by their active involvement.
My students face many daily challenges, as many come from foster homes or might be experiencing homelessness; however, they always come to school with dazzling smiles, ready to have fun learning.
This is going to be an amazing school year because so much has changed. It was difficult to transition to distance learning as neither staff nor families were prepared. Now, we are ready and our students are eager to start learning online. It will look so much different, but I am confident that we will all do our very best.
My Project
This month, I am excited to return to school to teach summer school in person! This will be great for my students as well as myself. It has been so long since any of us has seen the inside of a classroom!
While I will teach ELA and Math, I will also have time for social emotional and enrichment activities.
I want to do some fun things with this group of 14 students. Therefore I am requesting several items for my kiddos to enjoy. They will be able to express themselves creatively, which they haven't had many opportunities for in a really long time. The STEM kits will allow my students to build a solar powered vehicle! I know they will enjoy doing this and seeing it work!
We will also use the markers to color 3D puzzle pieces. My students will really enjoy being creative and then putting together their puzzles. Research shows coloring is excellent for mental health as it uses both sides of the brain.
With your help, my students and I will have a fun filled month of summer school. I am beyond excited about all of this!
