Die Cut Dilemma

My students need a die cut machine and favorite die cuts so we can use the different dies to teach in a variety of ways.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hesse's classroom raised $338

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 Students

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!! Having kids work in group or learn grouping is difficult. With a die cut machine we can not only promote grouping strategies, but we can also teach students to work in groups by giving them a symbol to identify with.

My students are from a low-socioeconomic community.

They are creative, curious, and have a love of learning. Our school sustained a fire and we lost everything. Trying to recoup is difficult in this struggling economy. Our wonderful principal does what she can, but the district has cut budgets thus making it more difficult to purchase many items.

My Project

With your generous donation, we can use this resource for the entire school to assist in grouping students, having students group items, compare and contrast, as well as identifying students during field trips. This would be a great opportunity for our school and all it's amazing kids.

This project will assist over 550 students, 35 teachers, and many, many parents.

The school can use it for so many activities involving cooperation, decorating, and most of all learning.
