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

Dear Donors Choose Supporters!

I am thrilled to expand upon the innovation and creativity in our classroom and we need your help.

As we build our makerpace and create an innovative learning environment in our classroom, a few more supplies are needed to bring our environment to the next level.

Our vision for an innovative classroom goes beyond traditional education. We believe in creating a dynamic learning environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and active engagement. To bring this vision to life, we are seeking donations for a few supplies that will further transform our classroom into a vibrant hub of learning and discovery.

Flexible Seating: Traditional desks and chairs are a thing of the past! We are introducing flexible seating options such as stools, bouncy bands and lap desks to give students the freedom to choose how and where they learn best. By donating to our initiative, you can help create a comfortable and adaptable space where every student can excel.

LEGO Education: LEGO bricks are more than just toys – they are powerful tools for hands-on learning and exploration. With your support, we can provide students with LEGO sets that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and STEM learning. From building simple structures to tackling complex challenges, LEGO Education will inspire our students to think outside the box and unleash their potential.

Storage Solutions: Organization is key to a well-functioning classroom. We are in need of storage boxes and containers to keep our materials tidy and accessible. Your donation will help us create a clutter-free environment where students can focus on learning without distractions. Especially for our Lego bricks, these boxes will be easy for kids to start quickly and clean up fast!

Thank you so much for considering supporting our classroom learning environment!
