Help me give my students a way to keep materials clean and dust free during the summer months.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pereira's classroom raised $162
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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 Students
My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. My students are all different types of learners and have various backgrounds. I have students who do not speak English, students with disabilities, and some students who are homeless.
I teach at a Title I school in the Bronx, New York where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive food and clothing from the school's charity drives. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day.
My Project
These clear plastics boxes will help keep all my materials neatly organized and dust free over the summer months. As the school year wraps up, I have to begin to put away all the books and other classroom materials. Normally, I store all the students books and other materials in the closet. The closet has the electrical panel, which the custodian has to access several times during the summer.
This causes everything to be covered in dust and one year all the books had paint splatter from when the closet and classroom walls were being painted.
I spent several days towards the end of the summer cleaning dust and other debris off the books and math manipulatives. These storage boxes would ensure that all the materials are put way in a sealed container, dust free, which is healthier for the students and classroom environment overall!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
