Help me give my students classroom essentials to help kick off the school year!

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

The items requested are needed to start off the school year! Some items such as copy paper, pencils, and name tags will help me set up my classroom for my new students. Other items such as LED boards, tiny stuffed animals and other trinkets are for the classroom treasure box, as our treasure box is also in need of re-stocking!

The treasure box is a great incentive for students to adhere to our classroom behavior plan.

As they earn points, they may choose prizes, or they may save their points for larger prizes. Please help me replenish the treasure box and start off the year with a few essentials.
