Help make our classroom a home filled with memories!

Help me give my students a comfortable bug free environment with the aroma diffuser and sound bowl. They will love the craft activities and opportunity for stem projects and learning extensions with the gift card.

My Project

Help our classroom be filled with comfortable surroundings and create a warm feeling with sounds and smells all while helping keep the bugs away. The sound bowl is a great way to help them focus and center themselves and practice emotional regulation. I would love to provide many craft activities for them to have items to treasure as well as make as gifts for their families at the holidays. We also love to engage in stem activities. Building, creating, and using cooperative groups is so critical for their social and emotional; as well as academic growth. The tpt gift card can help me provide many supplemental actives for interventions and extension of their learning process in all areas.
