Organized and Ready to Learn!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Phipps's classroom raised $303

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 Project

I love that my students come to school every day full of curiosity, energy, and the desire to do their best. They are bright, creative, and eager to learn, and they thrive when they have the tools and structure they need to succeed.

The dry erase markers will help my students engage more actively during lessons, allowing them to solve problems and share ideas quickly and confidently.

The file folders and other organizational supplies will give them a system to keep track of their work, reducing distractions and helping them stay focused.

With these resources, my classroom will be a more organized and efficient space where students can grow academically and feel proud of their progress every day.
