Help My Students Create a School Away From School!

Help me give my students a way to create a school environment while they're at home.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kennedy's classroom raised $295

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom was affected greatly by this pandemic. Living in an area where the kids are already not receiving equitable resources, school being cancelled has broadened their education gap even further.

My students were not even able to receive computers until two months after school was out because of inequitable funding.

With the unknown of what this school year has in hold with this pandemic, I need to make sure my students have a chance to effectively learn from home!

My Project

These resources will help my students create an environment at home that can give them a school feeling. It's hard to find motivation for school work while you are in your own home, I think we can all agree with that.

These resources from my project will help my students organize their school supplies and allow there to still be some form of structure.

The chair covers will give them a spot to give all of their supplies a place, and this is important because most of my babies do not have desks at home. While we are distance learning, I can tell them to reach into their pocket and pull out their highlighter, ruler, etc.

The "photo cases" will be used as a mini Math/Language Arts toolkit. They will hold important charts, task cards, math manipulatives, etc. Please help give my students an equitable chance for distance learning!
