Ms. Catherine from San Francisco CA is requesting reading nooks, desks & storage through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Read, Write, Create...Repeat!

Help me give my students a new kidney table to use for our small group instruction in reading and math. We also would love to add new cultural books to our classroom library.

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

Hey dear donors! I am a proud bilingual educator who serves low-income students and English learners from the Mission District in San Francisco. My students are energetic, curious, creative, and funny. They enjoy coming to school to play and learn, but we need some resources to make that happen. Please help us create a more enjoyable and inspiring classroom!

My Project

My classroom is not only culturally diverse but it also integrates a lot of strengths, skills and some language needs. At this point of the school year I have seen how my students are starting to be independent writers, readers and explorers, which is very exciting. I am requesting these materials with the idea to continue enhancing my students' reading and writing skills, as well as their creativity and motivation to learn new things at school. These materials will help us create a better space for learning, especially for small group instruction in guided reading, writing and math. My goal is to have a comfortable kidney table in which I can teach groups of 4 students twice per day while the rest of the class works independently, also I want to give my students the opportunity to read more culturally relevant books, and I will use the laminator to create new materials for reading activities and learning centers. The rest of the materials that I have included in this project are supplies that we will use for supporting students' sensory skills and creativity. Thanks in advance for helping me create a meaningful learning environment in my classrooms.
