Help me give my students the personal writing tool kits they need to become authors in and out of the classroom. Students will need writing utensils, notebooks, personalized charts, and publishing supplies to really make their writing shine.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Curry's classroom raised $658

Celebrating 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 Students
"Superheroes make mistakes, but never give up. They try their best to do their work and help others every day," is a motto, that my second-graders created and live by daily.
These students really are, in a word: super.
My second grade students are superheroes, and there couldn't be a more perfect name for this dynamic bunch. Within this group, you'll find every type of hero. There's the questioner with the power to inquire about anything and everything; the informer, who uses life experiences and book knowledge to keep us in the know; the reinforcer, who reminds us of content knowledge and connects it to the real world; the dreamer, who tell us about the endless possibilities; the captain, who keeps the class motivated and at times, in line; and a host of others, making them the most powerful team around.
Our school is an elementary school sharing space with two other schools in a high poverty area of the South Bronx. Despite economic, socio-emotional and linguistic challenges, my students have amazing spirits and always strive for success.
My Project
What does it take to be an amazing author? The "write" tools of course. Before March 2020 students were able to work collaboratively and share all of the classroom writing supplies. With the current situation, this is no longer an option. This year each student will not only require their own personalized writing supplies, but they will require enough of them to use, not only in the classroom, but also at home.
This year my classroom theme will be "Kids Can Change the World," and what better way to leverage that than through writing.
The goal is for my students to use their personalized writing kits to show off their amazing talents in narrative, informational, opinion and poetry writing. These students can and will change the world one writing piece at a time.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
