Work Hard/Play Hard: Balance During Distance Learning! Part 2

Help me give my students fun prizes like Crayola Project Markers, art cases, and Crayola Art with Edge activity books for the hard work they are doing via distance learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nixon's classroom raised $189

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

Our school serves 6th through 8th-grade students. Our school is a Title I school, where all students receive free lunch. Our students have diverse backgrounds from places in the Bay like Oakland and outside the Bay like Yemen and Mexico. Spanish is the home language of many of our students at UFSA. Our students are passionate learners and thrive inside and outside of the classroom. While thriving academically, many of our students also play for our school's soccer, football, and volleyball team.

There has been an increase in the number of students that have made SRI growth and achieved grade-level goals.

My Project

Having these new prizes (Art cases and activity books) to give our students will create a stronger desire to invest more in reading time at school and home.

I want to support all of our readers and give fun that students can enjoy for a while after working so hard during distance learning!

Students at our school sometimes struggle with reading. This is due to a lack of motivation to read because they are reading two or more years below grade level. Some students have difficulty accessing the English language as newcomers and English language learners.
