The Start of a Great Year!

Help me give my students larger laminating pouches to protect their artwork. Help me give my students lessons in color, which will improve retention, comprehension, and engagement. Color copies help students understand and remember information better.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roca's classroom raised $204

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

My students love to learn, and I want to give them the resources they need. Color copies help students stay focused on their learning task. Color can help students better understand new ideas and concepts. For diverse learners, it makes materials more accessible and engaging.

Students are more likely to engage with and read materials that are visually appealing and colorful.

Color helps visual learners process and retain information more effectively.

Laminating pouches saves time and resources year after year. I can avoid re-printing and remaking items, and materials stay in perfect condition for future students.
