  • Class Equity Restock!

    Funded Apr 30, 2024

    Allowing the students to have access to snacks which they can purchase with virtual money is very helpful. The students are able to take these items home and can be very helpful for the students who are struggling with hunger at home. Providing these items keeps the store up and running and keeps the students motivated to continue earning money. Without your help keeping our store up and running would not be possible. We rely heavily on donations to give the students many options in the store for purchase.”

  • Cell Storage!

    Funded Jan 3, 2024

    Technology is a beautiful thing, but it can also be a huge distraction for students in the classroom. Many student, actually almost all students in middle school have a cell phone and are part of many social media platforms. Sometimes teens find that Social Media is not always a safe and happy space. We avoid many problems, fights, in class drama by collecting the phones every morning. This keeps the students from messaging each other and or posting on social media during the school day. Or students are more focused on their lessons and their in class assignments with the distraction of their phones. These lock boxes allow all the teachers on our team to keep the playing field leveled and have a safe way to store their precious devices during the school day,”

  • Science Fair Time!

    Funded May 7, 2024

    The Science Fair is an amazing time fore students. They are allowed full control over their learning. They can choose their topic and design the experiment that they want to complete. The students are given all of their supplies including their project boards that they can decorate and display all of their work on. The students create a colorful Google Slide presentation to capture all the steps of their project. They include pictures of their experiment as it is in process. These boards can cost a few dollars that the students don't have.

    Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to shine at the Science Fair.”

The students will be able to grow as English learners while getting support in Spanish. This will allow the students to gain the background knowledge needed to learn new topics in English without confusion of the basic vocabulary. The students will have more confidence to participate in discussions, ask questions, and make English and Spanish connections. Many of these students are hesitant to participate because of their level of comfort. Once they are comfortable they excel in their learning. The level of excitement in the classroom when the students are able to make connections is a beautiful thing. I can't wait to see the students excitement after watching some of these videos!
