Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am seeking funding for the last quarter of the school year to create an unforgettable experience for my preschool students. As the school year comes to a close, I aim to transform this typically stressful time into one filled with joy, creativity, and meaningful learning experiences. Through a camping-themed adventure, I hope to provide my students with hands-on activities and engaging games that foster their imagination and sustain their creativity. However, the current curriculum budget does not cover the expenses required for such an endeavor. Therefore, I am reaching out for small donations to ensure that every child in my classroom can partake in this memorable experience and carry the lessons learned with them for years to come.

The last quarter of the school year can often be stressful for both students and educators.With standardized testing, end-of-year assessments, and preparations for transitions to new grade levels, it is crucial to create a positive and enjoyable learning environment for students.

Additionally, the current budget constraints prevent me from funding the extra-curricular activities necessary to provide my students with a memorable end-of-year experience.

To create a fun and memorable end-of-year experience for preschool students.

To engage students in hands-on, immersive learning activities that stimulate creativity and imagination.

To foster a sense of joy and excitement in the classroom during the final quarter of the school year.

Program/Project Description:

Creating camping-themed crafts and decorations.

Engaging in outdoor-inspired games and activities.

Making s'mores and other camping treats.

Using meaningful props to enhance the immersive experience.

These activities will not only provide students with a break from traditional classroom routines but also promote teamwork, problem-solving, and imaginative play.

Your support will not only alleviate end-of-year stress but also foster creativity, imagination, and joy in the classroom.
