FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Teaford's classroom raised $495

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

Lighting- Create a calming environment for studnets to enter class in with the star projector and fiber optic lights. Giving a studnets a chance to have a relaxing passing period will help them be ready to learn

Fidgets- Silicone, Plastic, Metal, fidgets to support durability.

Giving students something to keep their hands busy will help them focus while they learn

STEM Plushes- Offer a comforting environment for studnets. We already have well loved calculator and telescope plushes in class, students will love more math-y additions with the brain and moon

Coloring- Give studnets a mindful activity to do in their free time during class with jumbo coloring page, colored pencils, and markers.
