My Project
Greetings from the Courageous Caterpillar room! Our last project, Let’s Learn and Grow in the Rainforest!, needed to be changed to allow for donations to go farther! Here is Take 2!
If you donated for the first project, your donation should be returned.
We would appreciate your help again! Our mission is to create an opportunity for family, friends, and others contribute to the educational and social/emotional needs of out students.
We will accomplish these goals by creating a rainforest-themed calming environment. By infusing our spaces with elements of the rainforest, we aim to foster a sense of curiosity that will positively impact our students' learning experiences.
Donations enable us to introduce sensory opportunities that our 3- to 5-year-old students need. Our classroom would not be complete without various supplies. The items ensure that students have access to the tools they need for learning and creativity.
Lastly, your donations could help us purchase a class camera. With the addition of a class camera and printer, students will have the opportunity to see themselves on display, reinforcing their sense of pride and accomplishment. We will even give them an opportunity to use the camera to promote responsibility.
Our project is an opportunity to empower our young learners to explore, grow, and thrive in our classroom environment. Many of our students face limitations in their learning resources at home, and your support can make a significant difference in their educational journey.
Thanks in advance for any support you may offer us, whether you donate or share the project on social media!
More than half of students from low‑income households
