My students need new Expo markers and erasers, gold and silver Sharpies for special projects, white glue, sticky notes and more.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amato's classroom raised $414
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 live in a very low-income community in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Currently, over half of our students are considered homeless. They are almost all minorities. Many are learning English as a second language, and many have faced extreme adversity in their home lives. Many students work far below grade level and all are on free or reduced-price lunch. My students come to school where it's a safe place, and, despite everything, they try their best every day. While surrounding communities boast multi-million dollar homes and high powered tech companies, my kids have seen things no child should see, and this impacts their learning at school.
My Project
It's that time of the year again. The time when things are starting to dissapear. Even though I know I used to have white glue and markers for everyone, now it's hard to find either. Even though I know we used to have clorox wipes, erasers and white out now they are no where to be found. We need to replenish our classroom supplies, the basics. This will make our day to day classroom routines run smoother and students will be more excited to embark on new projects because they know that we have the supplies to make it happen.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
