A New School Year Means New Supplies!

Help me give my students a classroom mailbox, homework folders, a document camera, and more to help them feel welcomed and motivated, and ready to start the new year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Patsis's classroom raised $792

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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a home. I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!

Our classroom mailboxes will be placed on a shelf in the back of the classroom.

They are a handy way to ensure that students have their new homework, papers, mail, supplies, and whatever else they need. In addition to keeping the students organized, it also teaches the students the responsibility of checking their mailboxes each day.

The document camera will be placed on a table underneath the smartboard. Document cameras in classrooms provide opportunities for students to see examples, modeling and work on a larger scale. Having a document camera allows students to be able to view things clearer and quicker.

As for our other supplies; folders, labels, scissors, lamination sheets, and more, will help keep our classroom organized. Organizing a classroom is a must to ensure that students get what they need when they need it! The classroom supplies will be kept in the classroom and will be used during classroom and small group instruction. With your help, the classroom will be efficient with plenty of supplies for all. Supplies are vital for the day to day function of the classroom

All of these materials would mean so much to me as we embark on a new school year! Thank you in advance for your support!
