Classroom Resources: What Every Teacher Should Have

Help me give my students a classroom full of resources including chair bands and snacks so they can stay motivated.

$507 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

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

I have ordered many resources to help me students stay motivated in the classroom. Students who attend Title I schools often do not have the same resources as some of the other schools that are not Title I. Our students will benefit from these resources.

For example, I ordered chair bands so that my students who like to fidget or struggle from ADHD or ADD can move freely and comfortably in their seats.

I have also ordered snacks since food seems to be major motivators among my students.

The students that I serve are very important because they represent communities where economic struggle is prevalent. It is very necessary that we give these students the support that they deserve. I love all of my students and I especially love the fact that they fight through their struggles. I am hoping to be able to make learning a little bit easier for them despite their demographics by improving their classroom environment.
