My students need outside play equipment and inside learning supplies that will help engage in learning and relieve stress that they might experience.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. S.'s classroom raised $368
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 wish I can stay in Second Grade forever!" Words you chuckle at and are humbled by when students give you that pat on the back at the end of the day! These students look at the bright side and are grateful for the caring presence they feel throughout the school each day. They are positive amidst the challenges that they daily face.
I teach at a Title I school in Connecticut where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Students who are struggling in academic areas are often overwhelmed with all the testing and work focus that is required. Having tools both in and out of class to help them learn and enjoy will help balance their learning and play.
My Project
My students work hard in class and often struggle with subject areas. Sometimes with all the testing requirements they can get overwhelmed and need to experience physical activity and active learning in the classroom.
Having some games where students can throw the ball to each other will help provide bonding time with each other!
They can also us hula hoops for days filled with fun. Our playground is small so the items they can use are limited.
The flexible seating cushions really provide a comfortable place to learn with their peers. Much time is spent helping individual students who are struggling. The instant learning center materials and magnetic number tools engage struggling learners and provide more opportunity for success.
Our kids are wonderful and eager to learn and I want to give them the best chance they can have to enjoy learning and developing positive relationships.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
