Supplies To Succeed In School

Help me give my students basic school supplies they need to succeed academically!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sarah's classroom raised $324

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 Students

My students are funny, enthusiastic, energetic children living in the lower east side on Manhattan. They love to read, talk about their interests, and are very hard workers! They are caring children who are motivated to complete their assignments given support. Most of my students are working on formulating grammatical sentences, narrative retells, answering the 5Ws and 1H questions, inferences, and vocabulary. I incorporate a variety of learning strategies, behavior modifications, and reinforcements to ensure each student's goals and needs are met.

My Project

Being organized with basic school supplies allows me as a speech pathologist to maximize my time during my sessions to help my students. Having folders will assist in preparing paperwork such as graphic organizers and visual aids to use during sessions. Students look forward to having their own supplies and a safe place for their work to be stored. I use highlighters with my students to identify key details when answering questions and identifying story elements for reading comprehension passages. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand and not where their materials are placed.
