Help me give my students an iPad, two-pocket folders, markers, and other items for my classroom to develop more meaningful learning, obtain the best results, and create learning communities.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Vergara's classroom raised $1,030

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

Funding for this project would allow me to acquire and develop a wide collection of materials for my classroom. At the same time, I continue to develop professionally which is why I am requesting an iPad so I can continuously develop my courses, better implementing my teaching practice, and lay the groundwork for fostering a growth mindset in our students.

I am requesting materials such as notebooks, markers, glue, and snacks, based on educator research and teacher activity guides, to optimize my classroom.

Additionally, I would like to continue providing better service to my institution, so I will continue preparing to obtain my teaching certification so that my students can envision themselves successfully and forge their own futures.

Thank you very much!

Mr. Vergara Thomas Edison Charter Academy Grades PreK-2
