  • Snack Bar in Our Classroom

    Funded Jan 25, 2025

    As a teacher I have noticed that not all students have the opportunity to eat breakfast before coming to school, I also noticed that some students rely on breakfast in the class and lunch break as their source of food intake. Snack bar was created to allow all students the chance to grab a small snack during breaks to eat something that maybe they can't afford at home. My students were thrilled to see all the snacks they have all thanks to people like you! We now have cookies, peanut mix trails, chips, popcorn and so much more! Thank you on behalf of my students and myself!”

  • 5th Grade Resources to Organize Our Physical Education Classroom Materials!

    Funded Jan 13, 2025

    Yay! I’m so excited to be able to share the great news with my 5th graders. This project included pedometers, we plan on using them to learn how to read heart rates and learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Students will learn about heart rate levels and how exercise supports learning in school. This project also included an organizer, we have our physical education tools in boxes due to lack of resources. Thank you all for choosing my classroom! We can’t wait to use all the materials to enhance our learning!”

    Funded Sep 24, 2024

    I would like to thank you for donating to my classroom. Because of your support we started working on some amazing projects for Hispanic Heritage Month, I will share some pictures of the projects that my students created. We also used the class ink to print our science flipbooks that we created for our planet research. Without your help this would not be possible. Thank you once again for donating class ink to our class! Our classroom looks so beautiful with all the projects posted in our class and in the hallway!”

    Being represented and seen icons in our class that represent my students culture and identify provide a safe and welcoming class environment. This project was intended to add various famous icons that contributed to the world. Students can see themselves in the posters and set goals to motivate their life goals. Thank you so much for supporting my classroom, we already decorated our class and began talking about diversity, equality and inclusion. As a Hispanic teacher this provides identity maps for students, they are able to set goals because of they could do it, so can them!”

  • Label Maker and Bins to Help Our Class With Organization!

    Funded Aug 11, 2024

    Thank you for your generous donations! We just received all the resources that will make our classroom organized. For example, the label maker will be used to create name tags for folders, chrome books, headphones and more. This will help students gather their materials easily without wondering who belongs to who. In addition, the plastic bins are planned to be used to help organized pencils, markers, papers, folders, books and so much more. On behalf of my fifth graders and myself we are truly helpful for your contribution to our classroom!”

  • Re-stocking Art Supplies for Colorful End of Year Surprise!

    Funded May 21, 2024

    Classroom supplies and art resources are the most requested items by a teacher. The reality is that all teachers provide the majority of class supplies yearly. I requested this project to be able to ensure that my students and future students are able to have art classes. I had some really great ideas for art projects. But I soon realized I needed a lot of the resources such as paint brushes, card stock, skin color crayons, and ink. Thanks to donors like you, my students were able to do some amazing end of the year art projects such as an identity collage, a self portrait and more. Thank you for choosing my classroom.”

Hello, I am better known as Ms.Chavez. I have been teaching for 6 years mostly upper elementary. I am teaching a full inclusion 5th grade classroom with students from different learning abilities.My students are all unique in their own way and their educational abilities also vary from student to student. I have students with different learning needs, my class also includes a one-on-one educator that supports a student with special needs. With your support I am requesting classroom additional tools and resources, but most importantly my students will be able to have more hands on and realistic real world tools to become the best they can ever be and be successful adults.
