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 Students

Help me create more differentiated work for my students so they can reach their full potential!

My first graders are full of energy and excited about learning.

Many of them come from parents who do not speak English as their first language. Some come from single parent homes or homes in which parents work more than one job. All receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status and we are a Title 1 campus. Many of my students were also affected by Hurricane Harvey, leaving some of them with little or nothing at home. While these things may prevent them from getting ahead early in life and may not provide them with the life experiences many of us see as "typical". From the minute they walk in the door of my classroom I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can certainly control their experience during the school day.

My Project

I am asking for Astrobright paper as a way to differentiate in my classroom. My first graders are at various learning levels and as a way of promoting independence during workstations especially I want to use different colored papers throughout their centers to help them easily navigate what activities they should be working on. I will use this paper to create board games, sorting activities, and other manipulatives that can be used in different content areas as well as in Guided Reading. The paper will also be used for their differentiated homework sheets as well. Using colored paper will make the homework look more colorful and engaging. The laminating pouches will help me to stretch supplies and make the resources made/added into centers and Guided Reading reusable throughout the years!

Help make our work more differentiated and bright!

With your donation to help buy these supplies, you will help make my student's learning more interactive, differentiated, and independent!
