Ms. M's Phenomenal 9th Graders

My students need the file cabinet, shredder, and id holders to keep work that may not make it back to the classroom and holders so that the children stay in dresscode.

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

My kids are some of the brightest students that you will ever meet! They come from all walks of life and I am in the business of pushing every educational goal that they may have. These students are being faced with everyday life challenges and no one ever takes the time out to ask them who they are or what they aspire to be. THIS YEAR, THAT CHANGES!

A vibrant education begins with a vibrant environment.

I am looking to take this years classroom to new heights. I want my students to embrace themselves and the world around just upon entering my classroom. Creating a sense of pride in learning will create great learners, leaders, and people.

My Project

All of these materials will create an educational environment that will allow students to reach their maximum potential. Being that we are in a low income area a lot of supplies are not given to the students or the teachers. Some students can not afford basic school supplies and it is my duty to ensure academic achievement and excellence within the classroom as well as in the community. The novel "The Color of Water" prepares the students for the state exam while introducing them to real life situations as well. Literary elements and writing based upon supply will ensure that our students will excel far beyond measure.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
