Keeping Our Minds and Classroom Organized

Help me give my students all the materials they will need to be successful in this upcoming year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Spingola's classroom raised $609

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

The items requested in this project allow for myself and my students to keep our classroom organized. Being in the middle of the school year, and looking around to see nothing but chaos within your classroom can be defeating. By having these supplies, extra pencils, and pencil sharpeners, myself and my students will be able to feel more at peace within our classroom. It is my hope by starting off the year organized will give myself and my students the motivation to stay organized throughout the entire year. By also starting off the year with everything having a home, supplies will be more easily accessible, found, and stored to help everyone out! Please consider donating to my classroom!
