Little Learners

Help me give my students an amazing school year filled with love and joy by helping support the essentials such as sensory items to help regulate their emotions and books to open their imaginations!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Barnes's classroom raised $579

This project is fully funded

My Project

Teaching 4-5 year olds is such an amazing experience. I get to help them learn and grow in so many ways such as regulating their emotions with stories and different calm down tools. The books, learning games, and the journals will give my students a chance to thrive in school academically and improve their social-emotional skills and help them develop a love for learning!

Students thrive best in a loving environment where they feel welcomed and loved!

These materials will help me provide that environment for my students and help me prepare them to be continuous future learners that have confidence in themselves to learn and explore their world!

My students are special because each of them are unique in their own special way and my goal is to help them embrace their special qualities while providing a fun and loving environment for them to thrive in.
