Fun in Kinder

Help me give my students new materials for fun, exciting and engaging activities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mendoza's classroom raised $269

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 Project

I am hoping you can help me give my students some new play doh, puzzles, and legos to use. They absolutely love to create things. It brings them so much happiness to use their hands and it enhances creativity and problem solving. I also really need some bins to put these materials in to keep our class clean and organized. I like to ensure that our classroom is a very welcoming space that everyone feels comfortable .

I also need card stock to create some new literacy activities for my kindergartners to use during reading time.
