Express Ourselves With Reading and Play

Help me give my students reading opportunities and a way to express emotions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dennis's classroom raised $651

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My students are super excited to come to school and learn. They live in a very rural area with limited resources, so they enjoy using all of the materials we can offer them here at school. They are always positive and have a great attitude towards learning!

My Project

The books requested in this project will be used in the classroom Library. Students will use a checkout system so that they can take the books home. Most students in the class do not have books at home. My students are asking for books to read and this will allow students to check out the books and take them home during the week or on the weekend.

The LEGO bricks will be part of a sand play experience.

Sand therapy is an instrumental way to help students learn to express themselves via play. Thank You for your kindness, it is appreciated.
