SEL, Supplies, and Smiles for Success

Help me give my students essential classroom tools like a printer, laminator, alphabet letters, playdough, and social-emotional learning resources to support hands-on learning, creativity, communication, and emotional growth each day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hendricks's classroom raised $525

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

I absolutely love how curious, eager, and joyful my students are when it comes to learning! They’re a beautifully diverse group of learners, each bringing their own strengths, needs, and learning styles to the classroom. That’s why I believe deeply in equity over equality.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—we, as teachers, are constantly creating and adapting materials to meet each child where they are.

The resources in this project—like the printer, laminator, letter tiles, playdough, and social-emotional learning tools—will help me design hands-on, differentiated materials that support access to the curriculum in a way that’s relevant to every learner. These tools aren’t just supplies—they’re stepping stones to ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and successful.
