Help me give my students classroom supplies to keep them organized and motivated.

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 3rd-grade students come to school with a positive attitude and eagerness to learn.

I want to provide materials that will help them stay motivated and organized.

The plastic folders, stapler, and hole puncher will help keep all their daily reading assignments organized and easy to access in class. The plastic bags will be used to store the books they borrow from our classroom library. The stickers and stamps will be used to motivate students to complete reading assignments. The requested materials will surely make a difference and will help my students succeed.
