Magnificent Mustangs

Help me give my students a literature organizer, markers, a wall clock, and other materials that will help my students create their own authentic projects in the classroom.

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 materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. I am excited to teach second grade this year. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The digital clock, dry-erase markers, and anchor chart materials will go in the front of the classroom. These materials will be used to deliver mini-lessons and share time. My students will have materials to create projects and participate in during open lab. I am excited and thank you.
