Giving Them the Extra Push!

Help me give my students some supplemental books to help my students. They are needing more practice when it comes to math and science. I want to help them “rock the state test” that is coming up.

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

I am hoping to use these workbooks and supplies to not only help my students, but help me with other strategies to be a better teacher. I am wanting to incorporate science and higher learning so I can push my students to the next level. I am hoping that these will help me teach them concepts and strategies that I don’t understand. Specifically science ideas so I can incorporate cross curriculum classes and right now I have no material to teach science. This will help me have a stronger basis so I can become a better teacher. Also we are very limited on copy paper and math is hard to do on tablets so copies are needed.
