Creative Learning Materials and Organization Supplies

Help me give my students a rolling cart to organize materials and have them handy for them. Our Ecotank is in need of ink, which is used by my students to print resources and pictures for projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ortiz's classroom raised $472

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

Creating an environment conducive to facilitating independence is important to me. The materials I am requesting will help my students have easy access to materials. Students will use the cart to access various weight and color paper, tools and printer to create projects.

My students will be more engaged in projects with these materials and organization supplies.

It will allow my students to become more independent and creative with projects.

By offering engaging resources they will collaborate and use their critical thinking skills. This project will help enrich their experiences with projects.
