We Love to Share - Just not Germs : )

Help me give my students each their own individualized supplies, like their own dry erase sheet protectors to reuse over and over. A classroom subscription to Scholastic Magazine would be amazing, digital and hard copies!

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 Students

My students come from a diverse area. As students in a Title I school, they often do not have as many life experiences as other students. Many of my students will be in need this school year.

These students missed several months of personal interaction, assistance and learning due to the pandemic at the end of the school year last year; their kindergarten year!

Then they started the school year, this year, via digital learning. Going back to the classroom is going to look a lot different than any other school year.

My students are eager and excited to return to school, learn, try new things and see their peers!

My Project

Please help my students prepare for a great school year. They missed several months of personal interaction and learning last year due to the pandemic and have spent over 2 months of the beginning of the school year via digital learning. In the past, a lot of materials were able to be shared. However, now because of the COVID 19 virus, keeping students safe is of the utmost importance. Due to this, past practices need to be changed. Students can no longer share materials and that includes the reusable rewards I had in my Treasure Box. In our classroom, we do a lot of projects to demonstrate and apply our learning. These projects require materials such as markers, crayons, erasers, notebooks, and other supplies that will need to be replenished throughout the year.

With the purchase of these materials, each student will have their own supplies at their desks, eliminating the need to share supplies.

With the gift of the supplies on my list I will be able to give each student individual math & reading tool kits where I can print out and laminate number lines, number bond charts, place value charts, etc. making them reusable. My students will each be able to have their own notebook for morning writing and I will be able to tape off areas in the classroom for social distancing and to keep student item separated.

I contribute to my class supplies from my own pocket every year, however with new policies and procedures in place, the expense for every student to have individual kits is a bit overwhelming. Providing children with the necessary supplies to participate in school promotes learning, encourages self-esteem and helps kids be successful.
