Making a Better Room for the Kids

Help me give my students food and toys along with better seating for the year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Simmons's classroom raised $540

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

All of these supplies to make the classroom brighter and more inviting for the kids. The snacks are going to be used for the kids that can not provide their own snack since my class will have an early lunch next school year. The stools will provide flexible seating in our small group setting. I'm really excited about the treasure box toys because these kids love to work towards a goal and earn points to receive those little toys. I have fun posters in mind but in order to have them in my room the ink and lamination sheets will make them be bright and last a long time.
