Is It Time to Go Back to School Yet? Yay!

Help me give my students crayons, paper, disinfecting wipes, and supplies to start the new year so each learner can have their own set of supplies. Items like scissors and glue can go a long way when expressing our creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lewis's classroom raised $656

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

Part of this project will help students have their own set of supplies, such as glue and scissors which can be scarce. As a teacher, I like to do projects and different types of activities that can demonstrate mastery of certain subjects. I’ve seen students become great creators when they are allowed to put their finishing touches on their own work. This is where paper and crayons will also be helpful.

Pocket charts will be beneficial in displaying our schedule and vocabulary for the week.

Lastly, I like trying new methods to motivate students to be their best. Flash cards can help with repetition and punchcards can help students stay motivated.

In summary, all of the items will help students practice learning tasks, stay motivated, and clean. Thank you!
