Learning About the Past

My students need hands-on materials to learn about the world and their emotions such as puppets, puzzles, and books.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carney's classroom raised $382

My Students

Learning about other cultures early in life helps build understanding.

My students are bright and fun loving kindergarten students who love to learn.

My students are from a low income neighborhood. Their favorite subjects are science and social studies. Unfortunately these are the subjects we have the least amount of materials for.

My Project

The materials I am requesting are books that tell the students about children all over the world. The other materials are puppets so the students can act out community helpers doing their jobs. I am also requesting puzzles that show emotions that the students experience on a daily basis.

My project is important because it will give my students a chance to understand what life is like outside of our country.

It will provide them with a chance to play with our community helpers.
