Up Up and Away!

Help me give my students a great start to the new school year with age-appropriate resources and materials! In our first unit, we will explore cells, and having a microscope, pencils, notebooks etc. will be great!

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

It is time to kickstart the new school year with new faces!

Please help me to gain a few classroom resources that will help launch my students to success!

I am excited to see their happy faces as they learn about cells using their new microscope and make notes with resources from your valuable donations!

My new bunch of fifth graders will enjoy learning about the world and how it affects them in a comfortable and fully resourced space. Resources include notebooks, pencils, a microscope, whiteboard markers and binders.

Thank you for your kindness and support as we fuel their passion to learn.
