Fueling the Desire to Learn

Help me give my students an inviting and well organized classroom to help them grow and be more successful. The clipboards will grant our students the opportunity to move about the classroom as needed in small groups.

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

Please help me to provide an inviting and well organized classroom to help them grow and be more successful. The clipboards will grant our students the opportunity to move about the classroom as needed in small groups. The storage pouches will help them to maintain their supplies in one place. We use dry erase markers and erasers daily as part of our instruction and we never seem to have enough! The printer will allow me to make anchor charts and print visuals to assist with their learning.

Snacks and nutrition are often an important part of a child's day.

Many of our students do not have these snacks readily available and it is nice to have them on hand when needed. After a long day of learning, these snacks often help to refuel our students in order to motivate them to do their best and continue learning. We appreciate your assistance in helping us to meet the diverse needs of our students.
