Organization Is the Key!

My students need 22 seat sacks for organization. They switch classes for reading and math and things become cluttered very easily. This will help them stay focused on learning.

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 Students

Imagine trying to learn in a cluttered area in the classroom. You become disorganized in your learning and unfocused. The covers will help combat disorganization and will help them focus. School should be a place were they have a clutter free environment.

I have students from Kenya and Somalia and they are very outgoing.

Stability is something they need and want. My students are very diverse in learning, but share a commonality in that they are all low income students that need a little more motivation than others.

My Project

This product is a way to show them that chaos is not a good environment for learning. In Somalia they don't attend school so it is difficult for them to learn when the education is not valued. Hopefully this makes it a little easier to learn. When they feel safe and have order then learning can take place.

Your donation will help my students become more successful because they are able to stay focused on learning and the environment around them.

I believe students will become serious and more responsible for their learning. I really really want this for my students, it gives them a responsibility that they may not otherwise have.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
