Ready, Set, Focus! Boosting Executive Functioning in First Grade

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed in developing their executive functioning skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rasmussen's classroom raised $352

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

In first grade, students are learning more than reading and math—they’re building the skills to focus, plan, and stay organized. This project will provide tools such as timers, visual learning aids, and classroom supplies to help young learners strengthen their executive functioning skills and maintain a well-organized classroom. These resources support routines, promote independence, and minimize distractions, enabling students to thrive academically and emotionally. By creating a structured, clean, and engaging classroom environment, we provide students with the foundation they need to succeed now and in the future. My students need visual timers, building blocks, line-up stickers, plastic forks and spoons, and disinfecting wipes.

Your support will help turn everyday routines into powerful learning moments!
