Preparing our Classroom for a Successful Year

Help me give my students get ready for a fun, inspiring and safe school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burke's classroom raised $263

This project is fully funded

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 Students

Our school is located in an inner city neighborhood. Most of the students have two working parents and many speak a second language at home. The neighborhood our school is located in is a diverse, urban setting.

My students are eager young learners.

This school year will be their first exposure to a large public school. The children speak another language at home and are economically challenged. Most students receive free lunch.

My students deserve to start their academic careers with as many opportunities as I can provide for them. They are curious and creative. They are full of questions and are constantly exploring the world around them.

My Project

The items for our project will help set up a safe and inviting classroom for our students starting in person school in September of 2021.

"When students feel safe snd supported,

they are truly ready and able to learn."

The name tags, music, stickers and birthday badges will help students feel calm, welcome and loved. The book bins, fasteners and outlet plugs will keep items stored away and the students safe from hazards in the classroom. The labels and bassinets will help with organization and function in their center areas.
