You Put the Tools in Their Hands

Help me give my students get the necessary items - dry erase boards, floor cushions, snacks, mind games, posters and more they need to be successful. I especially have a strong need for a translator for EL students who are struggling with the language.

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

What I love most about my students is their resilience, creativity, and willingness to keep trying—even when learning feels challenging. They are curious, expressive, and eager to share their thinking when given the right support.

My students thrive in hands-on, collaborative environments, and they take pride in their work when they feel equipped and valued.

Watching their confidence grow as they realize their ideas matter is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching them.

These resources are needed to help enrich my class experience when it comes to history and the celebration of black history month as well Spanish heritage.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
