We need portfolio storage file drawers in our class so that we can easily and professionally store our science work.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Vega's classroom raised $285

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.
About My Students
Although many of my students were eager to lead this project, Austin and Anthony have been selected to lead and represent the student body. Our Goal: To increase the amount of science equipment so that we can better achieve STEM standards and be college and career ready!
After our first project was funded, my students were overwhelmed with excitement. They were shocked to know that individual donors took an interest in their education and provided them with such amazing science equipment! I encouraged students to take an active role in generating their own grant proposal on DonorsChoose.org so that we could possibly receive durable file drawers to store science lab reports and projects for our STEM research and exploration.
The file drawers will be used for storing our science lab reports and projects in a professional and neat way. It is very important that my students take pride in their work and are able to reflect on their progress. Establishing a filing system will enable my students to compile science portfolios that will demonstrate student growth while enhancing student pride and ownership in their work.
In Their Own Words
We want to increase the amount of science and technology equipment used in our class so that we can better learn and practice science in a more advanced way. We would like to set up a portfolio storage system for the 7th grade. We usually store our work in folders but by the end of the year, most folders are damaged and our papers become messy. If we had a more durable file system, like the one we picked out, our work would be able to stay neat and professional.
After receiving the file drawers, we will assemble them and organize each section according to class. Throughout the year, we will be able to put our work into the folders and reflect back on how much we are learning. Most of us really enjoy looking back on our work and seeing how much we have changed. We can also use the portfolios during parent-teacher conferences so we can show our parents too.
By taking part in this project, it will solve the hardships and challenges we face with a lack of resources. The money donated will help us buy durable file drawers to store our science work so that we can reflect on our knowledge in science in a professional way. The project is important to us because it takes our knowledge further so that we can be more prepared for high school, college, and future careers.
