Teacher Classroom Restock

Help me give my students an engaging classroom where they can enjoy learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hamel's classroom raised $587

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

As a new teacher, I realized how many extra materials I need

This project will restock my classroom for the rest of the year and into next year.

Having the paper cutters will save me much-needed time to prep for classes. Other materials, such as the laminator, will help me reuse materials for my students year after year and make lessons more engaging. The easel papers will be used in group work to build communication skills between students. Expo markers are desperately needed as we often use whiteboards to practice material as a whole class and in small group settings.
