Fifth Grade

Help me give my students the ability to soar to new heights this year!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ayers's classroom raised $500

This project is fully funded

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

Every child holds a special place in my heart and I believe with the proper materials and aid, they will have the ability to become exactly who they’re meant to be: exceptional learners. One major key to success is organization. When a classroom is tidy and cohesive, it gives a sense of belonging as well as focus. My goal is to help my students reach their maximum potential by providing a thoughtfully curated learning space. Mailboxes, a pocket chart and a rolling cart will help provide this organization.

With your help, students from my class will have the opportunity to start the year off with a great start and finish strong this school year.
