Supporting Student Mental Health

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melanie's classroom raised $315

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 Project

The materials I am requesting will make a great difference in my students' learning. The popcorn machine will be a great addition to our classroom, as it will provide a fun and interactive way for my students to learn .The worry sign will help my students to recognize and express their emotions in a healthy way. This will help them to better understand their feelings and learn how to manage them. Finally, the camera will be a great tool for my students to capture their learning experiences. They can use the camera to take pictures of their work, which will help them to reflect on their progress and celebrate their successes.

I love my students for their enthusiasm, curiosity, and eagerness to learn.

They are always so excited to come to school and learn something new each day. They are also very creative and have a great sense of humor.
