Ready to Learn: Tools to Start a Strong School Year

Help me give my students materials that they can use in our everyday activities. They will use it during writing, arts, reading literacy and others. These materials will also help me create visual materials for the lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Silvano's classroom raised $319

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

The beginning of the school year is an important time for students to build confidence, routines, and a love for learning. In my classroom, I want every student to experience variety and engaging activities. I also want them to be prepared but some arrive without the basic tools they need.

With your support, I hope to provide essential tools like crayons, markers, whiteboards, folders, glue and scissors.

I also hope to create visual materials and laminate it. These materials will help them participate and fully engage in our activities, express their creativity and complete works with pride.

Your generosity will help create a welcoming environment where every student can start strong by feeling supported and equipped with materials.
