Help me give my students two new desks for our first-third grade classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. King's classroom raised $201

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 Project

My amazing first, second, and third graders love to learn. My students have unique learning styles and needs. I am proud to be their teacher. They are wonderful young learners who are eager to soak up all the learning and fun that they can.

I believe in providing my students with a learning environment that encourages academic achievement, enriching activities, access to diversity and multicultural experiences and let's not forget fun and excitement.

I also believe in students having their own space to learn.

Kids need a space to call their own. The number of students in my classroom has expanded recently and I want to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and has a space for themselves. I am requesting two new desks for this purpose. Each desk will be for one student and their belongings. The students will be able to work on these desks and store their materials in them. These desks have great reviews and are sturdy, comfortable and easy to clean. Adding these new desks will ensure that all of my students have the space they need to continue growing and learning in our classroom.

Thank you for supporting my amazing young scholars!
