Shining Letters and Numbers

Help me give my students different, white, marquee letters and numbers to help letter and number recognition.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopez's classroom raised $777

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

We would like to receive white marquee letters and numbers so that I can use to highlight the number and or letter/sound of the day and or week. These letters also have light so they will be bright, attracting my students' attention. The letters, in combination with other letters that I already own, will also be used to spell out high frequency words and or new vocabulary.

These numbers will serve the same purpose, to expose my students to the number of the day/week.

They will help them learn the name, value and identifying each number.

These letters and numbers will help expose my students to the different concepts that they have to know for both letters and numbers.

The arch stands will work to decorate and set up as makeshift bulletin boards where students can display their work. The motivation of having a placebo show off their work will motivate my students to do the best they can on every assignment.
