Make Kinder Humans

Help me give my students tools to be kinder humans with anti-racism books!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Simon's classroom raised $771

This project is fully funded

My Project

Aloha! Please help me by supplying my 7th grade students with materials to help teach them how to be kinder humans. Students were out of school for a few years because of covid and stuck at home; this affected their social-emotional skills greatly. The floor chairs are a way for them to sit comfortably while they learn and hopefully be able to focus more while the majority of the rest of the supplies are meant to teach them social emotional skills that they are lacking. Due to living online for multiple years, students have a hard time communicating kindly with each other, particularly when they are not friends.
