FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Truax's classroom raised $659

My Project

The watercolors, magnetic tiles, and other materials I have included in my project will help my students with their social-emotional needs. I chose a variety of books that help students understand ways to manage their emotions and promote a growth mindset. With my project, I also included a variety of art materials and STEM resources. Art is a great way for students to express themselves and build self-esteem. The STEM resources I included will help students learn to share and socialize when working with a partner or small group. Thank you for supporting my classroom!
