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

Welcome to our first-grade classroom, where we're gearing up for an exciting new school year! I'm eager to create an engaging and organized learning environment for my "Fabulous Firsties." These vibrant and diverse young learners are brimming with curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm.

To ensure each student reaches their full potential, I'm seeking your generous support to provide basic essential supplies.

With your help, we can start the year strong and equip every student with the resources they need to succeed.

To ensure our classroom is fully equipped for the upcoming school year, we need a variety of essential supplies. Ticonderoga My First Short Triangular Wood-Cased Pencils will aid in developing our students' writing skills, while Anker 10 Port 60W Data Hubs will keep our technology organized. UCreate Mixed Media Art Paper and Elmer's Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks are essential for art projects, and TN850 High Yield Toner Cartridges will keep our printer running smoothly. For projects, we need Neenah White Index Paper and Scotch Thermal Laminating Pouches. Fiskars 5" Softgrip Left-Handed Pointed-Tip Scissors cater to all students, including left-handed ones, and Amazon Elements Baby Wipes maintain hygiene. Crucial for interactive lessons are EXPO Ultra Fine Tip Dry Erase Markers, and to manage cables and workspace, OHill Desk Cable Management Cord Organizers and OHill Cable Clips are necessary.

Your generous donations will provide our classroom with these essential tools, creating an organized, efficient, and inspiring learning environment. These supplies will help us prepare engaging lessons and hands-on activities that capture my students' imaginations and support their learning journey.
