Help me give my students some of the basic necessities they will be needing for the new school year including Expo dry erase markers, which are used for many parts of our day.

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 Students
I teach at a Title I school in San Diego, California. One hundred percent of our students live in poverty and receive free lunch and breakfast. Many nationalities and ethnic backgrounds are represented at our school, but our students are primarily Hispanic, African American and Asian. We also have a large number of refugee students who are brand new to the country.
I haven't met my incoming group of 1st graders quite yet, but I know that they will be excited to start learning!
My Project
Unfortunately, each school year, the teachers at my site are only provided with $300 for the entire year. This is NOT enough for all of the necessities that students must have! I blew through that money immediately and still found myself short of tools students would be needing for a successful year.
Expo whiteboard dry erase markers are a huge part of my classroom.
Students use them daily to solve math problems, write sentences, and practice their sight words. They are an expensive, but important tool. Also, the Velcro stickers will be used to stick student nametags to their desks.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
