My Project

The last few years have been quite a ride in education (and the world). I am happy to say that the 2022/2023 school year is the first "normal" school year since before COVID.

As we settle into this new post COVID world we know that its impacts will be felt for years to come.

One of the ways is has impacted our classroom is by depleting our resources (due to home learning kits). We need to rebuild our many sensory and classroom supplies. In the project I have also included items such as glue, paper plates and styrofoam balls in order to be able to make different slime and sensory experiences.

If this project is funded, it will help our classroom replenish the many resources we have lost over the years and provide a way to keep it organized for years to come.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
