Imagination & Creativity

Help me give my students the tools they need to help them enhance their imagination, creativity and emotional wellness.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Arroyo's classroom raised $422

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

Help my students with the tools they need to help them enhance their imagination, creativity, and emotional wellness. Tools include glitter, glitter pens, paint, paint brushes, pipe cleaners, pom poms, googly eyes, foam stickers, feathers, popsicle sticks, sequins, and more.

With the tools needed my students will be able to socialize and create.

Providing a safe space to socialize and create will ensure their social emotional needs are met. Students will stay calm and self-aware, collaborate effectively, ask for help and help others, and treat others kindly. I am amazed at the creativity in each of them which makes them unique in their own way.
