My students need science materials, maps of the world, and their absolute favorite book series, Dragonbreath!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Mannarino's classroom raised $670
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 are diverse, enthusiastic learners. They love science experiments, reading, and writing comics. Our school is a true community school, providing many supports for the families of students, and connecting families to many local resources.
My students come from various parts of San Francisco, and attend a Title I school where 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch, and many families are in transition with housing.
These fifth graders are excited to engage in a bilingual classroom. They believe that school is work, and take this job seriously!
My Project
My students currently do not have access to the materials that they need to access the science and social studies standards in tactile ways. I have an abundance of textbooks, but my students crave hands-on, inquiry based learning experiences. With access to two different maps of the world (the Peters map and a traditional world map), my students can consider how mapping is a political act, making geography even more exciting.
With the ability to project stars and planets onto the ceiling of our classroom, my students will be able to more readily understand and be excited by the solar system and the universe itself.
And, with all of these materials, my students will be able to become experts, taking control of the standards and stepping into the role of student-teachers, with all of the necessary models, supplies, and tools needed. Thank you so much for your donation, I really appreciate it!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
