Please Help Brighten Our Classroom to Inspire Our Minds!
My students need several colorful borders and letters to brighten up the classroom, a set of posters for daily inspiration, and envelopes to send and organize important information home.

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 Students
My students attend a Title I school in a low economic area. Our classroom is filled with varying abilities and learning styles. 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. For some, those are the only meals they can rely on. Most families are blended families and some students only have one parent.
Despite the many challenges that they face, my students are always ready to learn and eager to try new things.
I strive to provide them with rich experiences because they are resilient learners that love school.
My Project
Environment is everything in a third grade classroom. My students spend so many hours in our room everyday. I want it to be a place where they feel comfortable and happy. This allows them to put all of their concentration and effort on learning all they can while they are at school. I have been teaching for ten years now and my classroom could definitely use a little updating. I have asked for several supplies to do that including Bulletin Board Borders, inspirations posters, and two packs of colorful letters with other school supplies.
Many of my students come from shelters as their temporary home.
Therefore, I would love to decorate the classroom to make their space inviting and vibrate. I want my students to walk in their classroom and be inspired by the burst of colors and shapes. I have asked for inspiration poster and several coordinating bulletin board sets both borders and letters because having these engaging bulletin boards will help ignite creativity and imagination in my students.
Imagination is the key for my students to go wherever they want in life. All of these little things will add up to big returns in our classroom! These will will all enhance my classroom in so many ways.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
