Help Us Get Organized

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Barraza's classroom raised $375

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 come to me eager to learn and to share their stories. Oftentimes, they do not come to school prepared with supplies because they don't have the funds to buy additional supplies to be organized.

Let's help my students be organized by providing them with educational supplies to help them learn.

By donating to my classroom, my students will be able to receive zipper pouches to organize their materials. They will get highlighters to be able to use when we identify our high-frequency words in our reading passages. The folders will help them keep their stories, poems, and decodable passages organized. The dry erase markers will be used on whiteboards when we do word chains for our small group as well as other activities. The incentive charts and stickers will be used to help them meet their academic goals. Your support is greatly appreciated, thank you!
