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

Help Mrs. Tolk build a vertical classroom based on the book "Building a Thinking Classroom in Mathematics" by Peter Liljedahl.

We are seeking a grant to enhance our classroom environment, focusing on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the integration of interactive tools and organizational resources.

With your support, we aim to acquire Easel White Boards, essential for collaborative learning and creative expression. Additionally, we request funding for quality pencils to empower students with the right tools for their academic journey. A wall calendar will serve as a visual aid for scheduling, fostering time management skills and promoting a sense of routine. Adequate storage solutions will ensure a tidy and organized space, facilitating a positive and conducive learning atmosphere. This grant will not only enrich the educational experience but also contribute to the holistic development of our students.
