Tools for Tiny Thinkers

Help me give my students engaging tools and materials to support creativity, literacy, and hands-on learning in our early elementary classroom. We need a bookshelf, storage containers, headphones, dry erase boards, crayons, markers, labels, and other classroom basics.

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

I teach an enthusiastic group of kindergarten and first grade students who love to explore, solve problems, and learn through hands-on activities. In our combined classroom, students are developing foundational math skills and beginning to use technology to support their learning.

The materials in this project will help my students engage more deeply with math concepts through interactive tools and support their growing independence with technology.

These resources will make our classroom more organized, efficient, and ready for 21st-century learning.

With your help, my students will build confidence in math and learn to use technology as a powerful tool for learning and discovery.
