My First Rodeo

Help me give my students new resources that they can use in their classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Trinidad's classroom raised $981

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a first-year teacher, I did not have a clue about what items I had in my classroom let alone what I needed. As the school year went on, I gained a good sense of things that I could see that could benefit the overall classroom.

These whiteboards, markers, flashcards, word games, paint, and other items will be valuable tools to help students in future projects and enhance their everyday experience.

Working at a Title I school, materials are sometimes hard to come by, luckily our district granted first-year teachers a budget towards DonorsChoose. Thank you for helping my students out!
