Tools to Think, Create, and Shine

Help me give my students the tools they need to think, create, and share their ideas every day to bring their learning to life through note-taking, and creative projects.

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 third graders are curious, creative, and full of big ideas. They love sharing their thinking, whether they are solving a math problem, brainstorming on a whiteboard, or adding detail to a writing piece. They take pride in their work and treat our classroom materials with care because they know these tools help them succeed.

The Expo dry erase markers will support the hands-on learning environment we all work hard to create.

We use whiteboards daily for math practice, vocabulary, and quick checks for understanding. Being able to write, erase, and try again builds confidence and encourages students to take risks.

The colored pencils will help my students organize their thinking, illustrate their learning, and bring creativity into every subject. Color helps them focus, process information, and express ideas clearly.

These simple supplies will make a big impact. With your support, my students will have the tools they need to think boldly, create proudly, and grow every day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
