Mrs. Amador’s First Year Teaching

Help me give my students the nitrile gloves, supply caddies, dry erase boards, and other supplies they need to be successful in our 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

Having these items will allow me to provide an organized, functional, and effective learning environment for my students. It is my first classroom, so I am trying to choose items that I will find most useful along with necessary such as writing utensils for both me and my students, organization systems, and art supplies.

I tried to stick to a neutral theme so that students are not overstimulated by bright colors and themes throughout the class.

I would be so grateful for any amount donated. Please know that you’re supporting a new teacher and her wonderful students!
