Help Me Out

Help me give my students new headphones, a pencil sharpener that will last and some classroom lights that will prevent us all from getting headaches from using the regular classroom lights.

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

This project is to help me setup a brand new space for my third grade students. Our classroom has changed spots, so my goal is to beautify this space. My hope is that this small project will help to create a beautiful, welcoming space that excites both the start for myself and also something new for the students to see as they are returning from Winter break. Starting over in a new space can be very overwhelming, and I am trying my best to create a new beautiful space for all to enjoy. So many students spend a very long day at school, and creating a space that feels like home is exactly what I am trying to achieve.

The headphones , classroom lighting and extra strong pencil sharpener are all going to make our classroom feel new and exciting as we start 2025!

The regular overhead lights that are in our school building are terrible and often give a terrible vibe in the room. Creating a space that has curtain lights hanging above students and lamps spread around the classroom creates a warm and inviting space. A space that everyone wants to be in.

Thank you all for donating to this project to help support setting up a new third grade classroom space.
