Mrs. Hutten from Salinas CA is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Quiet Pencil Sharpener, Academic Content Posters, and More STEAM!

My students need these materials so that our classroom atmosphere is always calm and supportive. These items will enhance our room by visually reinforcing content and lessening auditory disruptions with a new pencil sharpener.

My Students

My students care about each other and have good hearts. They value lending a helping hand, collaborating with others, and doing their best work. My students come from the Salinas area and many have attended school together since kindergarten. They have developed close bonds of friendship over the years and display great amounts of respect towards one another. The students exemplify good character, They are also tenacious with their academic work. They respect their potential to learn and are excited about developing their skills as both students and productive citizens.

My Project

My students are often interrupted by the irritating sound of the low functioning electric pencil sharpener in my classroom. I would like to eliminate these disturbances with a new, quiet pencil sharpener.

This year, my students are enthralled during science and engineering lessons.

Having low-temperature hot glue guns would help my students be more successful with reaching objectives while working in our Makers' Space.

This year, my students have had so much fun with a variety of art projects. They would love to have more opportunities to work with high-quality watercolor paper.

I would like to add some bright, engaging, clear anchor charts to my classroom walls to reinforce math concepts during reteaching.
