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
As a dedicated educator, I strive to create an engaging, organized, and effective learning environment where all students can thrive. To support this goal, I am seeking essential classroom supplies that enhance instruction and promote student organization.
Teachers spend money out of pocket each year to provide the basic materials needed for students to learn and grow.
These expenses often include everyday tools that are critical to effective teaching, yet are not always readily available through school budgets. Your support will help offset these personal costs and ensure that all students in my classroom have access to high-quality materials.
The supplies I am requesting include dry-erase markers and erasers for daily student practice and whole-group instruction. Post-it notes and manila folders will help students stay organized and allow for smooth transitions during small group activities. A laminating machine and pouches will preserve reference materials, anchor charts, and student work so they can be reused throughout the year. Binding paper will allow me to create take-home booklets and classroom texts that support independent practice and reinforce key concepts.
These resources will make a lasting difference in the classroom. With the right tools, I can provide visual cues, scaffolded supports, and hands-on learning experiences that help students stay engaged and build confidence. Your contribution will directly enhance daily routines and support stronger learning outcomes. Thank you for investing in education and helping students succeed!
