FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Paterwic's classroom raised $581

This project is fully funded

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

My students are in third grade and are inventive and creative. They love to use their creative minds to build. This year we need more indoor recess toys such as the puzzles and magnetic blocks and tiles. This allows my students to get creative and be unique when building.

Flexible seating will allow the students to have a comfortable work space for their ideas.

The book bags allow the students to have their own place for their just right books to be stored. The students can bring the books home too!
