Let's Make It A Great Year

Help me give my students some added on tools to use in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Messina's classroom raised $451

This project is fully funded

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

I am requesting these added tools for our classroom to support lessons being taught. Journals are on back order and the kids need a place to write their stories and to see their growth through out the school year.

Playdough will be used for centers that I have prepared and to support their fine motor learning.

Lysol is to keep our classroom clean and healthy.

Snacks are for their tummys in the afternoon because we have a scheduled lunch time that is more of a brunch. We need to feed their brains to make it the rest of the day.
