Toys & Snacks for Learning

Help me give my students some learning activities and snacks that will help them learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Samson's classroom raised $1,146

This project is fully funded

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

These toys, activities, and snacks that our class needs will help them learn, work with their peers, and be independent.

The students will be given an opportunity to learn their letters and numbers while doing different activities.

It is very important for the students to be exposed to different learning choices because this teaches them to work with their peers, follow instructions, problem solve things, and express themselves. It is not only centered in academics but also in their social-emotional skills.

I believe that the more activities the students have, the more they will learn and it would not make them feel bored in class.
