Help me give my students SEL activities and STEM kits to help them have a safe and supported place!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ortiz's classroom raised $423
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 Project
Our classroom is a place where students learn through exploration, teamwork, and creativity—and this project brings all of that to life! We’re requesting a variety of STEM-based games, hands-on building kits, sensory tools, and student incentives to create a learning environment that is engaging, motivating, and inclusive.
The Tetra Tower game, magnetic building sets, and construction kits will encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and engineering skills.
Sensory items like kinetic sand and fidget pens support students who need calming tools to stay focused and regulated during the day. To keep motivation high, we’re also including fun incentives like stickers, wristbands, Pokémon cards, snacks, and flavored drink mixes for our classroom treasure box and celebration days.
These resources will spark curiosity, build social-emotional skills, and reward positive behavior—all while keeping learning fun. Your support will help us build a vibrant, hands-on learning space where every student can thrive. Thank you for making a difference!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
