First-Year Teacher Enhances Learning in 4th Grade

Help me give my students the essentials they need to succeed in 4th grade including classroom mailbox organizer and colored pencils

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. S's classroom raised $686

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

The resources I am requesting will play a vital role in supporting my students' learning and growth. My primary goal for this project is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued, inspired, and empowered to reach their full potential.

As a teacher in my district, I am constantly inspired by the diverse group of students I have the privilege of teaching.

Each child brings a unique perspective and set of experiences to our classroom, enriching our learning environment in countless ways.

These materials will be used to provide a dedicated space for students to submit work and receive personalized feedback, foster a sense of responsibility and organization with classroom mailboxes, encourage family involvement in their education, enhance interactive learning opportunities, organize our classroom library with book bins so students will have easy access to a variety of reading materials, fostering a love for reading and exploration.

Pencils, pencil sharpener, and colored pencils are the basic yet essential supplies that will ensure that students have the tools they need to express their creativity and engage in hands-on learning activities.

I am excited about the potential impact these resources will have on my students' learning journey and am grateful for any support to help make this project a reality.

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom!
