Impactful Small Group Time

Help me give my students resources to make small group work more effective and exciting!

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

This project is fully funded

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

I am requesting specific items to support my small group time. I am hopeful to make this time effective, meaningful, and fun for all my students. I know with these tools we can make the most of our time together focusing on growing in our reading skills.

My students love earning rewards!

I have chosen some special rewards to share with my class. They love bookmarks, fidgets, and mochis. They will be excited to work towards earning these fun and exciting rewards. I am also asking for stools to use at my back table, so students dont have to drag their chairs back when it is their time to work at the back table.

I work with amazing students and I really hope I have the opportunity to reward their hard work and focus with the items in this project!
