Starting Strong

Help me give my students the tools needed for success in the classroom with folders, pencils and a pencil sharpener.

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 students in my classroom come from low income families. While we ask for supplies, we know that most of our families can’t afford it. The supplies I’ve listed are some of the basic materials that students will need to be a successful Middle School student.

A pencil should never be a reason why a student isn’t able to learn.

When this project gets funded students will be able to actively participate in several activities as well as daily instruction. It will also aide in keeping the students organized by using their folders.
