Organized for Greatness: Tools to Power Learning & Leadership
Help me give my students essential classroom materials—like chair pockets, book bins, pencil pouches, and colorful supplies—to support independence, creativity, and collaboration as they explore real-world projects in California history, natural disasters, and race car engineering.
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
In our 4th grade PBL (Project-Based Learning) classroom, students dive into powerful, real-world topics like The Greatness Project, California History, Renewable Energy, Natural Disasters, and even Renewable Energy! These rich learning experiences require a space that promotes independence, organization, and creativity.
Over time, some of our essential classroom tools—chair pockets, book bins, pencil pouches, and colorful paper—have been torn, washed out, or worn beyond repair.
Replacing these items is critical to helping students stay organized, manage materials effectively, and focus on their learning and leadership roles.
With your help, we can refresh our classroom with:
*Chair pockets to store books and journals within easy reach
*Book bins for organized access to research and reading materials
* Zipper pouches to manage writing tools and project materials
* Colorful gel pens and paper to bring creativity to writing, note-taking, and presentations
These materials are more than just supplies—they're tools that support student voice, collaboration, and leadership as they explore what makes someone great, lead monthly assemblies, research California’s past, design energy solutions, and build race cars powered by inquiry.
Thank you for helping us build a classroom where students can stay organized, feel empowered, and shine as the leaders and problem-solvers they are becoming.
