Keep Our Classroom Running!

Help me give my students supplies to keep our classroom running! We need a new pencil sharpener (our mascot is a panda)! And some anxiety strips to keep us calm while testing.

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

Our classroom needs some day to day items to keep us running: triple A batteries (rechargeable to save the environment!) and a new pencil sharpener so we can sharpen quickly and get back to our assignments! We were particularly excited for this sharpener as our school mascot is a panda! We are also requesting anxiety strips to put on our desks so if we feel anxious during testing we have something to support us. Thank you for your support of our classroom! We appreciate the support in keeping our daily operations smooth and worry free!
