Give A Little. Help A Lot!

My students need pencils, erasers, markers, color crayons, and paper because they are unable to buy them themselves. We use the colored paper and copy paper for everyday activities that help to reinforce our learning.

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 Students

As a teacher in a low income/high poverty school district, my students are starting life at a disadvantage both in and out of the classroom. When these students come to school they are in need of more than just an "education" and I am trying to help provide this to them in positive and meaningful ways.

My students are creative, active, and eager to express themselves.

We love to read, move around the room while we learn, work in collaborative groups, and create not only amazing work, but wonderful memories while doing these things.

My Project

I have two classes, each with 24 students in them and both classes share the supplies. The supplies we have in the classroom are either leftovers from last year, brought in by myself, or by the students who could afford to do so.

My students need these basic supplies so that they can continue their learning without any obstacles.

Having pencils, erasers, markers, color crayons, and paper will help us better do those things, without the worry of skimping on any activities. Without these supplies, my students are limited in what they are able to create to show their knowledge of the skill they were just learning. With these supplies there are no longer any restrictions as to what they can do with to show their learning.
