A Better Place to Learn for Low Income Students

Help me give my students some of the things that make learning more possible, from snacks or pencils to manipulatives with a Cricut cutting machine.

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

Keeping up with student needs takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. It also takes supplies, and a lot of times, our school cannot provide those for our students. This project hopes to address some of these issues.

Imagine a classroom where every student has the supplies needed to succeed.

Besides the obvious choices of pencils, paper, snacks, etc., the Cricut machine will make manipulatives for each student, Word Walls, displays, and bulletin boards that are exciting and easily kept up to date.

So much time can be saved when a classroom has its own supplies. Students can get a Band-aid and be back in their seats learning in a minute, not the ten-minute roundtrip that it takes to get one from the office. These items can help my students have the quality learning experience that they deserve. Thank you for considering my project.
