Sharpening Success: Simple Tools, Big Impact

Help me give my students tools for organizing and equipping a classroom where they can thrive.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. L.Martinez's classroom raised $247

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 Project

The utility cart that I am requesting will help me organize and transport materials efficiently around the classroom, especially during group activities and centers. The tennis ball chair covers will reduce noise and prevent floor scratching, creating a calmer and more focused learning environment. The two AFMAT electric pencil sharpeners will ensure that students always have sharp, colored, and jumbo pencils ready for writing, drawing, and creative tasks, especially important for younger students or those with fine motor challenges. The bulk set of mini pre-sharpened pencils will be available in designated supply stations, so students can quickly grab what they need without interrupting learning time.
