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

Our classroom needs several key supplies to enhance our learning environment and support our students' success.

By contributing to this project, you'll help us equip our classroom with essential tools that will make a significant impact on our student's educational experience.

Requested Items:

Cell Phone Box: This will help us manage and store student cell phones securely during class, minimizing distractions and keeping students focused on their work.

Label Maker: A label maker will assist in organizing classroom materials and personalizing student belongings, making it easier to keep track of everything and foster a sense of ownership.

Magnetic Grid for Whiteboard: A magnetic whiteboard is a versatile tool that will enhance students' understanding of a variety of math concepts.

Clipboards: Clipboards are essential for students to comfortably write and take notes during various classroom activities, whether they're working independently or in groups.

Document Camera: This tool will enable us to project documents, drawings, and student work onto a large screen, facilitating better understanding and discussion during lessons.

Hole Puncher: A hole punch is crucial for organizing and maintaining important documents, ensuring that all materials are easily accessible and well-organized.

Doorbell: A doorbell will help us manage classroom transitions and signal the beginning or end of activities, creating a more structured and efficient classroom environment.

Clicker: A clicker will assist in interactive presentations and classroom activities, allowing for seamless transitions between slides and engaging students more effectively.

All items in this project are essential for supporting students in reaching their goals. By providing the items listed in this project, you will directly contribute to creating a more organized, engaging, and productive learning environment. Your support will help our students thrive academically and personally.

Thank you for considering our project and for your generosity in supporting our classroom!
