Small Essentials

Help me give my students a few essential, that never too late to complete.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Alvarez's classroom raised $164

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

Small essential items can greatly benefit a classroom in various ways:

Organization: Items like pencil holders, desk organizers, and storage bins help keep supplies tidy and easily accessible, promoting a more organized learning environment.

Productivity: Basic stationery such as pens, pencils, erasers, and rulers ensure that students have the tools they need to complete tasks efficiently, reducing disruptions caused by missing or malfunctioning supplies.

Comfort: Simple comforts like cushions or back supports for chairs, as well as proper lighting, can enhance students' physical comfort, allowing them to focus better on their studies.

Engagement: Interactive tools such as whiteboards, markers, and manipulative (like math counters or building blocks) can make lessons more engaging and facilitate hands-on learning experiences.

Inclusivity: Providing small accommodations like fidget toys or sensory items can support students with different learning styles or sensory needs, ensuring that all students feel included and comfortable in the classroom environment.

Creativity: Art supplies such as colored pencils, crayons, and paints encourage creativity and self-expression, allowing students to explore their artistic talents and enhance their cognitive development.
