Writing Tools as Birthday Presents

Help me give my students writing tools and birthday gifts throughout the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martinez's classroom raised $186

This project is fully funded

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

I would like to start the year with the necessary writing tools as presents and prizes. My students enjoy drawing and coloring any time of the day. I want to give them gifts for their birthday so they can use at home and school.

I want my kiddos to celebrate their birthdays as they receive drawing and writing gifts to be taken home and returned back to school with excitement!

They will be engaged daily with their writing and drawings as they play school at home. Their love for learning and working will motivate them wherever they are.
