The Future of the World Is in This Classroom

Help me give my students math, reading, and art sensory items such as band sets, a rug, photo library, crayons, magnetic board, Play-Doh, dice, etc. to help give them the skills that a PreK-K ASD child needs to succeed in learning and make them want to come to school every day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kathy's classroom raised $675

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

I teach in a public school district. I work with children in PreK-Kindergarten. I have seven kids this year coming up and looking so forward to getting to know them.

These kids are very energetic and love to learn through sensory and tactile items and objects.

They love music and instruments, coloring, and writing on whiteboards and IPads. Given the opportunity, I always love to watch my kids grow and flourish and learn.

To see a smile on a face when they are learning and having fun is priceless. They each learn in different ways and if I can bring happiness to each child, I am doing my job.

My Project

The math, reading, art, and music items such as band sets, a rug, photo library, crayons, magnetic board, Play-Doh, dice, etc. would create a fun and more interactive classroom which I am trying to create in my room. Having children, some being non-verbal and others who are verbal teaching in a more interactive way would make it more fun to learn and work very hard to become successful.

In my classroom, each of my students is unique and beautiful, but together, they are a masterpiece.

With the opportunity to have unique ways of learning, these kids will love to learn and be successful each day, one at a time.

Thye love to use their hands and having math, reading, art, and sensory items will just make them flourish and want to work harder. They are an amazing group of children, and I learn from them every day. I just want them to love school and want to learn in many different and unique ways.
