New Year Necessities

Help me give my students some basic supplies, such as facial tissue, paper towels, and candy for motivation!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Torres's classroom raised $202

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

Please help me provide some basic necessities to my students while they are in the resource room. Often as a special education classroom, we are forgotten by parents and fellow teachers. Facial tissue, paper towels, and disinfectant wipes will be used to keep our room clean.

As for the candy, well it’s to motivate students!

I use it to reward positive behavior and when a student tries their best, regardless of the answer is right or wrong. As for the cookies and snacks, that will be used for my students who come to school late and missed the opportunity to eat breakfast. After all you can’t learn when you’re hungry.
