Mathematics Comes Alive

Help me give my students crayons and paper so their creativity can flow.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thompson's classroom raised $449

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

The students who enter my classroom each day deserve a quality education. They deserve an abundant amount of resources, but they often lack the basic necessities that make it difficult to complete any assignment. Paper, pencils, markers, and crayons are all basic necessities students need to thrive in a rigorous, fast-paced classroom environment.

With the appropriate resources, students will have the creative freedom and flexibility to ensure each assignment is completed in its' entirety.

With your help, I can enhance the learning experience of my students by ensuring they all have the necessary resources.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
