Mrs. Leshchiner's Class Project!

Help me give my students new materials to launch our first science unit of the year: Plants and Animals! These resources will also help out general classroom space, and provide a year of Scholastic News!

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

Our class is full of curious and thoughtful scholars who are excited to launch into our new science unit! These materials will help support this years science as well as build a foundation for this unit for classes in the future. This project will also fund a year of Scholastic News for students. This is an incredible opportunity for students to connect our units of study to real world events. Lastly, this project will help fund more flexible seating options for our class of diverse learners to ensure all students have the tools they need to be successful.
