Help me give my students the supplies to to succeed in a rigorous classroom!

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

My students are explorers. They enjoy playing with mathematics and discovering its secrets. They have a lot of passion - and are constantly working on improving themselves.

The supplies from this project will help gear up my students to be successful next year.

Two areas where my students want to improve is testing anxiety and note taking. With the supplies from this project, I'll be better able to supply students with the materials they need to grow in this area.

Stress balls and fidget toys are a safe way to help students channel their anxiety, while graphing notebooks help keep all the notes in one simple place.
