Help me give my students book shelves for their library and a pencil sharpener for their pencils.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hughes's classroom raised $167
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 Students
Next year I will be a teacher entering my second year of teaching! I am lucky and have planted my roots in first grade. In first grade there is a large group of diverse and motivated learners. These students are future medical professionals, educators and world leaders of tomorrow!
This group of amazing and eager-to-learn students come from all walks of life and have more life experiences than they ever should at their age.
Even with these experiences, they are still the most motivated group of students you will ever meet. These students are surrounded by homelessness, food insecurity and many more challenges. However, despite their backgrounds, nevertheless, they persist and come into school every day, ready to learn!
Many of our students are hurricane Irma and Maria refugees who had to come to the United States due to the devastation that happened. A majority of these students, a year or so later, are still displaced.
Please help me continue to make a difference in their lives by giving them the classroom that they deserve.
My Project
As a second year teacher I have been asked to make the switch from being a Math/ Science teacher to an ELA/ Writing one. I am very excited and have approximately 200 books to share with the students, but no book shelves! Please help my incoming students start the year off with an amazing and organized library!
A place to store the classroom books will allow for easy access.
The shelves will also assist the students while they are picking out their "good fit" books with an easy view of every level of book.
An electric pencil sharpener will help my students be ready for their day. Dull pencils are hard to write with. For this past year we have all been sharpening our pencils by hand.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
