Creativity and Learning in the Classroom!

Help me give my students a safe learning environment as they walk in and learn in my classroom. After being out of the classroom as a TOSA, I will need as many supplies as possible. Thank you!

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

After being out of the classroom for 6 years as a Teacher on Special Assignment, I am now going into an empty classroom needing all the basic materials for my students. The students will benefit from it all as I don’t have supplies to decorate nor materials for my students to use in my classroom.

Thank you in advance for helping me get the necessary materials needed for my classroom.

All materials donated will be used in the classroom as students work on projects and tutorials. Pencils, sharpener, paper, expo markers are all necessary for daily work. Spanish posters will be utilized to decorate the wall and the board paper along with the borders will help with beautifying the wall as I display my students work.

I will be teaching Spanish and AVID classes.
