Back to Basics for a Successful New School Year!

Help me give my students the basics for a successfull start to the new school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Acuna-Gutierrez's classroom raised $550

This project is fully funded

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

Most of the basic supplies I am requesting will help my classroom get off to a successful school year. What I am requesting will be mainly used during our math and language arts. They will also be used during the other subject areas like science, social studies and art. The pencils, erasers, and dry-erase markers along with the boards will be in constant use daily for math tasks as well as for language arts.

In order to start off on the right foot, we need the right supplies to get started.

Most of these supplies will be used during the first day of school and for the rest of the school year, especially during writing and math. The rest of the materials (folders, glue sticks, paper, glue, erasers, and other materials) chosen will be in constant use throughout the school year to help keep my students organized, for crafts in art, and the many constant activities students do throughout the school year.
