My Project

Join me in making an impact on the social and emotional growth of my remarkable third graders! Throughout this year, they have been diligently working to bridge the gaps in their social skills knowledge. Unfortunately, the disruptions caused by the pandemic denied them the typical kindergarten experience, resulting in missed opportunities to develop and apply essential skills such as conflict resolution, anger management, conversation skills, and active listening.

Your support will help me acquire a new carpet, essential for fostering social interaction through games, storytelling, and practicing social skills.

Additionally, these new books will enhance our social-emotional learning through literacy and community building.

Your contribution will directly impact these young learners, providing the resources they need to thrive. Be a part of our mission to build a supportive space for our students!

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference.
