Headphones and More

Help me give my students a classroom set of headphones. It can be quite distracting when multiple students are working on their iPads at the same time with the volume playing out loud.

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 supply my classroom. My students come from households where resources are limited, making it difficult to ask parents for the usual supplies.

My students need headphones to be successful.

Having headphones available to use will help my 2nd grade students focus on their specific activity and help reduce potential distractions. We also need some basic classroom supplies like pencils, glue sticks, erasers, copy paper and cleaning supplies.

I would like to support my students' everyday learning by providing basic school supplies that everyone needs in my classroom.

By regularly cleaning and disinfecting our classroom, we can reduce the spread of illnesses. These cleaning supplies will help sanitize and clean the students desks, chairs, and shared learning materials. We will also use them to clean high-touch surfaces such as door handles, light switches, and classroom equipment. Having the supplies in the classroom will help us keep our classroom as clean and healthy as possible.

These supplies will help make our 2024-2025 school year successful.
