Basic Supplies To Start The Year Off Write!

Help me give my students basic school supplies to start the year off writing!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Perez's classroom raised $280

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 Students

I currently have a group of 23 fabulous second graders in a dual language classroom. They live in a low income, high poverty stricken inner city community in northern New Jersey. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom due to their socioeconomic status and their varying linguistic abilities. Despite this, they are ready, willing, and excited to learn! They tackle challenges and strive to do their best. They are resilient, respectful, and hardworking students.

My Project

During these unprecedented times, school supplies can be the last thing on families' minds. While our district has minimized the amount of school supplies needed for the new school year, some families might still need more help. The basic school supplies in this project can help them check this off their list!

A fresh beginning of the school year with basic school supplies such as folders, expo markers, pencils, laminating pouches, and sticky notes will allow students to be prepared to learn every day when they enter my classroom.

These resources will help eliminate sharing and will keep everyone safe for the school year.

Let’s start the year off right with basic school supplies. Help me give my students basic supplies for everyday use. These basic supplies will help my students start the year off with the right supplies to help them succeed.
