FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gaiter's classroom raised $215

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

I teach a wonderful group of inquisitive fourth graders who love to learn! For our next Science unit, my students will be learning all about circuits, culminating in creating a circuit board game!

We need batteries!

With your help, I will be able to provide batteries and battery holders for all of my students so that they will not only learn the ins and outs of simple circuitry, but they will also have the basic materials to build their board game! In addition to the batteries and holders, I am requesting funding for toner for our classroom printer because my students will be designing their circuit board project cover electronically, and it would be wonderful if they could print them out in color. Thank you for your consideration!
