Help Me Rebuild a Joyful Kindergarten Classroom!

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

After years in the classroom, I stepped into a leadership role to support and mentor new teachers. During that transition, I made the heartfelt decision to donate all of my classroom materials—books, furniture, manipulatives, supplies—to help equip those just starting their teaching journey.

I'm thrilled to be back with the youngest learners, but I'm starting completely from scratch.

Kindergarten is a year filled with imagination, growth, and foundational learning. My goal is to build a warm, structured, and enriching environment where my students feel safe, seen, and excited to learn. With your help, I can bring that vision to life.

Your support will help me provide:

A diverse and inclusive classroom library

Hands-on literacy and math center materials

Art and fine motor tools for creative expression

Flexible seating to support focus and movement

Organization tools to create a calm, accessible space

This project is about more than classroom supplies—it's about giving young learners the joyful, engaging start to school that they deserve. Your generosity will help me create a nurturing, high-quality learning environment from day one.

Thank you for believing in teachers, in early education, and in new beginnings. Your support truly makes a difference.
