Ms. Cespedes's classroom raised $306

Essential Supplies to Support Zest for Learning

Help me give my students crayons, laminating pouches, and construction paper for the supplies that are engaging and teach them the needed standards at the same time.

Riverside, CA Grades PreK-2

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 Project

My transitional kindergarteners are curious, energetic, and eager to learn. They come to school ready to learn and explore daily. Our district is making a huge jump from half to full-day transitional kinder and kindergarten. This means my students will be at school for a little over six hours daily. For transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students, that is a long day!

Supplies that are engaging and fun will help make this transition easier.

Games are a must for young scholars. They are learning and having fun at the same time. It is a win-win!

Equity Focus

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
