Help me give my students extra support while I am away on Maternity Leave!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hand's classroom raised $329
This project is fully funded
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
My students are a unique and lively group of students. Before becoming a middle school teacher, I was a high school teacher. While I miss my high school teaching days for many reasons, my middle school students have truly challenged me to become a creative and innovative teacher in my classroom. I am constantly finding new ways to make them active learners in our history classroom.
Over the last several years I have seen my students come alive as we incorporate highly engaging activities in our lesson plans!
As a history teacher, it can be a challenge to find lessons that are interactive while also covering key skills and topics in our content area. My students are active and social! They love to talk with each other and are filled with so much curiosity.
My students come from diverse backgrounds both socioeconomically and linguistically. With the right support and love, I truly believe many of my students will go onto become successfully lawyers, politicians, doctors, engineers, and teachers themselves.
My Project
This year is an exciting year for me, I am going to be welcoming my first child (daughter) into the world! I am currently teaching in a high needs school with 99% of my students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. While I am excited to start my new adventure, I want my students to still have access to a quality education while I'm away.
I will be providing my long term substitute with very detailed Maternity Leave plans that will include several different types of highly engaging activities and projects for my students.
In result, I need some extra materials this year that can be very hard for my students to purchase on their own. I want to leave my school and classes with the best plan possible for learning and support!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
