Let's Have a Clutter-less Class

My students need help getting themselves organized with seat sack, storage caddies, and paper trays. On many occasions they have lost homework and classwork assignments causing them to receive lower grades.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Torres's classroom raised $470

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 Students

Let's get organized for 2012! Out with the old and in with the new.

My 6th graders are independent learners in the making.As New Yorkers we live life on the fast lane, remaining on this lane can be difficult.

My students need assistance learning how to slow their role, and that is a skill that I hope they will gain. Once they get organized everything else can be placed on cruise control.

My Project

I am requesting individual organizers for student chairs, and caddies. My students will be able to better manage their work. By doing this they will gain skills that can be used later on in life. Organization is key to becoming more efficient.This will help them save time and money in the future. Learning these skills will help kids have a better working environment which can lead to a healthier and cleaner work space.

Do you remember being in middle school?

Do you remember how drastic the change was from elementary school? If you do help me alleviate some of this stress for my students. I want them to feel that the skills I have taught them can be taken and used later on in life. I want to build skilled and successful students. Help make an impact in their young lives. My students need your support. Please assist me in making this happen.
