Multicultural Classroom

Help me give my students an arts and craft kit, lei-making kit, and Hawaiian language essentials that reflect their own cultural identities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. V.'s classroom raised $518

This project is fully funded

My Project

These resources and books will help students to have diverse reading materials. These books will allow students to have materials that reflect their own identities.

Art supplies will support art integration into lessons to help students be more engaged with learning.

The anti-racist art activities will help to create an actively welcoming and respectful classroom culture.

Fourth graders learn about Hawaiian history. The Hawaiian language, plants, animals, and cultural books will help me to support that education. The lei needles will be used to teach students how to make lei from foraged flowers.
