Help me give my students books, bamboo paper towels, and force of nature spray to learn about our environment and climate change.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Polo Oates's classroom raised $240
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My kindergartners are curious, talkative, full of questions, and have learned to be more aware and care about our Earth.
What we use and do matters!
We have learned about what things we can do to take care of Earth! They have asked, what else can we do? We have read about climate change and learned from it.
I would like to bring in more books with what other kids have done to help our environment to inspire!
I would also want to bring bamboo paper towels and cleaning spray that is better for our environment and us when we are cleaning our classroom and explain how that makes a difference too.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
