Mrs. Binyon from Chicago IL is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Spreading Holiday Kindness and Cheer!

Help me give my students a chance to spread kindness through creating mason jar vases with tissue, glue, and ribbon. Students will also create ornaments with foam shapes and place them in bags to help spread holiday cheer.

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 Students

My students are continually growing, learning, and questioning everything around them. They are artists, thinkers, scientists, and problem solvers. They learn and grow from each other and help each other grow both academically and socially in the classroom.

Students help inspire each other to grow and reach their goals both in and out of the classroom.

They are our future, and I want to give them a great start to the school year. Who wouldn't want to be part of a warm classroom with lots of hands-on fun?

My Project

My students and Kindness Squad will be creating various projects to help spread holiday cheer! Students will create ornaments for friends, family, and teachers! The teacher ornaments will be plastic round ornaments with erasers inside with kind quotes using labels. Student ornaments will be created using model dough and painting. Family ornaments will be used using foam shapes and tissues. We will be using the card and labels to help spread holiday and cheer to our school building. Everyone should be acknowledged and loved during the holiday season.

The best project will be creating mason jar vases to share with the children's hospital to help spread holiday cheer to children who need it!

The best part is the Kindness Squad seeing pictures of how happy those children are for receiving a holiday cheer! Please help us make some holiday magic this holiday season! You are truly appreciated!
