Help me give my students the experience of science and mathematics through play.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Russell's classroom raised $193
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
All the items that I am requesting will be placed in our centers to help my students learn through play and creativity.
The students will love to learn ho magnets work as they create different monsters to fulfill their creative side.
Building different items will help the students to learn to follow simple directions while having fun! The counting cones will give the students the foundation in numbers that will help them to grow throughout their school careers and life.
My students will be learning without knowing it. They love to play and will be over the moon with these items.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
