Innovate, Interact, Inspire: Hands-On, Reading-Loving Classroom

Help me give my students hands-on materials, interactive tools, and a cozy reading nook to engage fully in creative projects, active lessons, and a love for reading.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lorenzo's classroom raised $572

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 bring learning to life! My students need hands-on materials, interactive tools, and a cozy reading nook to engage fully in creative projects, active lessons, and a love for reading. This project is designed to empower my students through three key components: hands-on materials for creating innovative projects, interactive response tools to support active participation, and a classroom environment that fosters a love of reading. Students will create concept maps and visual projects to reinforce concepts, use response tools to show thinking during lessons, and find joy in curling up with a great book in a space that feels inviting and safe.
