My Project

I primarily base my middle school Spanish curriculum on music videos created by a now-former Spanish teacher. His website provides not only wacky, catchy songs & music videos, but also a digital practice component as well as tons of hard-copy activities for each song. My students LOVE the units centered around these songs. They also love Wooly Week, when subscribers to Señor Wooly's website are treated to Wooly Week with special competitions for students & teachers alike, new music videos & new activity ideas.

Wooly Week is always a favorite of my students and I'd again like to make Wooly merch - t-shirts & character scarves - the grand prizes for our raffle.

The way it works is students earn tickets for completing challenges both in-class and outside of class throughout Wooly Week. Then, an assistant principal comes to class the next week to draw the names of the winners. It was such a hit last year!

I want to treat my students to prizes that will both advertise my program as they wear them the rest of the school year & be cherished for years to come. Thank you for your support! We very much appreciate your generosity.
