Mrs. Ward E White Elementary School

Houston, TX Grades PreK-2

Celebrating 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

My students are eagerly returning to school after Hurricane Beryl and many families still struggle to get basic supplies. In my classroom we use whiteboards daily. Therefore the students need lots of expo markers. While working in groups they need pencils, post it notes, markers, and chart paper to demonstrate their learning. I would like to have a marker organizer to keep them from losing the markers as well. Lastly not everyone can afford a backpack so I would like to be to able to supply that also. On hand I would also like a backup charger to keep the students connected while using their technology devices. Please consider helping us get off to a great start.
