Social Emotional Growth & Love For Reading

Help me give my students the chance to grow in their social emotional learning through class bonding art, science, and reading activities. Engaging books to flourish our love for reading & activities to grasp their love to learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sheldon's classroom raised $988

This project is fully funded

My Project

With Covid-19 impacting my 4th grade students ability to learn for 2 years, their interest and love for learning has hit an all time low. With these resources I will be able to enhance the creativity and bring everyone together through shared readings and activities. With a teacher salary I am not able to purchase all these fun art activities, growth mindset books, and positive social emotional resources as much as I would like to. Given this opportunity my students can have the chance to flourish through their challenges and become stronger learners as well as more self conscious individuals.
