My Project

I teach both Spanish Language Arts and Spanish as a 2nd Language. I think classroom materials, both digital and physical, can help the room to feel calm and safe. Having organized spaces for students to store their materials can help bring a sense of order to the classroom.

I need fresh cubbies to start next year off right!

For years, I have used student cubbies in my classroom, but they are starting to show wear and tear from daily use.

I also need a subscription to one of the beloved digital resources that I use each year. Students' digital accounts allow them to work independently at their own pace and level, helping them feel successful and happy!

Thanks in advance for your support.
