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
As an enthusiastic sixth grade reading teacher at a Chicago public school, I am excited to share our classroom project aimed at restocking essential supplies to enhance our students' learning experience. Our classroom is a vibrant community of eager learners with a substantial need for materials that support both their educational and creative growth. The primary goal of this project is to replenish our stock of basic yet vital supplies, including pencils, reward stickers, markers, and colored pencils. These materials are not just tools for writing and drawing; they are the instruments through which our students express their creativity, grasp new concepts, and develop fine motor skills.
In our classroom, every pencil stands as a symbol of opportunity – an opportunity to jot down a thought, solve a problem, or sketch a story.
However, as the school year progresses, our supplies dwindle, and the need to replenish them becomes crucial. Reward stickers, a seemingly small addition, play a significant role in motivating students and acknowledging their achievements, fostering a positive learning environment. Furthermore, coloring materials like markers and colored pencils are indispensable in a reading classroom. They allow students to create vibrant mind maps, annotate texts, and engage in artistic projects that complement their reading assignments. These activities not only enhance their understanding of the material but also cater to diverse learning styles, making education more inclusive and effective.
By contributing to our project, you will be directly impacting the educational journey of each student in our classroom. Your support will ensure that our students have uninterrupted access to these basic yet essential supplies, allowing them to continue exploring, learning, and growing in a resource-rich environment.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
