  • Students with Snacks

    Funded Apr 28, 2022

    Once again I would like to thank you for your generosity in supporting my students. The snacks are being shared with students when they share with myself that they are feeling hungry or would simply like to enjoy a snack during their lunch time, nutrition break, or on their way home after school.

    We are nearing the end of the school year and I am know that these snacks will last nearly the entire remaining school days.

    My students are always appreciative when given snacks, which makes it all worth it.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Espinoza

  • Math Basics

    Funded Nov 10, 2021

    I would like to thank you for your support in my students learning. By having whiteboards, I am able to have quicker responses and increased participation from students. This gives a voice to the students who are shy or scared of sharing the wrong answers out loud. I am also able to quickly assess whether students are picking up the content or not.

    The students first saw a flyer that said "Funded" outside of my classroom and most students began to ask me what it meant. I explained how donors funded our project for whiteboards, calculators, and even healthy snacks. The students were excited to use, and eat, the donated items.

    Moving forward, students will continue to use the whiteboards and calculators to support their learning as described above. The students will keep their homework and letters organized with their folders as well. Lastly, the students will be able to enjoy a healthy snack throughout the semester.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Espinoza

    This classroom project was brought to life by #TeachHealthy with Nature Made.
In my project I have included a classroom set of whiteboards, calculators, and folders. (which they get to keep) The whiteboards will enhance how students see, understand, and most importantly INTERACT with the lesson. The calculators are a basic that every student should have access to when in school, especially during math class. The folders will support all of my students with organization. I envision that their folders will be where they keep newsletters, notices, and the occasional homework assignments. In my project, I have also included a plain timer and electrical pencil sharpener that will be shared with my class. The timer is essential to keeping the students, and myself, on time to ensure that we cover most of the content for each day. The electrical pencil sharpener is also essential to our class because.... well, its math! Lastly, I have also included a variety of healthy snacks in my project. Just like you and I, students also have a hard time focusing on an empty stomach. Therefor, I occasionally buy healthy snacks in bulk to share with students. I truly don't mind doing so but the cost of doing so quickly rises.
