A Warm, Welcoming and Functional Classroom

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 would greatly appreciate your support in funding my project. I am asking for a new rug, a bookshelf, and a moveable whiteboard to hold our anchor charts. The items in this project will help me create a warmer and functional classroom for my students to welcome them on the first day and guide them through the school year.

Help me create a warm, welcoming and functional classroom for my first graders this 2024-25 school year.

Having a new, clean rug to sit on makes a huge difference in our day because students spend many lessons sitting on the rug. It's where a lot of conversation and exploration takes place. My old rug desperately needs to be replaced! This rug makes sure every student has their own, special spot on the carpet. The bookshelf will help make many texts visible to students and accessible for them to grab in our classroom library. Lastly, the whiteboard will make it easier for me to create shared learning at the carpet when we design anchor charts together.
