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
This is my first year teaching and I couldn't have asked for a more manageable, eager to learn group of 6 and 7 year old's. I work in a Title 1 school in Phoenix, AZ. Many of the children come low socioeconomic status. The majority of my class demographic is Hispanic, so they are learning two languages.
My students are great learners and I love how they continue to try even when things may get tough.
They have grown so much in the past month and a half. I can't wait to see how they continue to grow the rest of the year!
My Project
Maillboxes will have such a huge impact on my classroom management. Mailboxes will provide a place for the children to put their finished work & where I can put important forms to go home. They are using cubbies right now to put all of their books and papers. It is difficult because the children cannot see the papers in their cubbies and everyday I am constantly telling the children, individually, to check their cubbies to take home the papers they worked on that day.
That is where the mailboxes come in.
I would be able to tell the children to put their finished work in their mailbox. Then they would have a space for their books in their cubbies and their finished work in their mailbox. This would save time when packing up at the end of the day and would make my classroom management run a lot smoother.
I really hope that you will consider donating supplies for my classroom. I am a first year teacher and need assistance buying essential things. By having these nicer wooden mailboxes they will hopefully last longer than the cardboard ones and I will be able to use them throughout my career! Thank you for reading and please consider donating to my classroom!
More than half of students from low‑income households
