Powering Up Our Classroom for Success

Help me give my students basic supplies, storage, and tech accessories to stay organized, engaged, and ready to learn. These materials will create a functional, well-equipped classroom where every student can focus, participate, and succeed.

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

I love my students’ curiosity, resilience, and willingness to keep trying even when learning feels challenging. They come to class with big dreams and unique perspectives, and I want to give them the tools to make those dreams possible.

Every resource in this project will directly impact my students’ ability to learn and thrive.

The pens, pencils, and dry-erase boards will help them actively participate in lessons and express their ideas with confidence. Headphones will give them the quiet focus they need for independent and small-group work. Laminating pouches will allow me to create reusable learning materials that last all year. Power strips will ensure every student’s device stays charged, and storage carts, bins, and pouches will keep our classroom organized so materials are always within reach.

These resources will help transform our room into a space where students can focus, collaborate, and succeed every day.
