Paper and Ink

Help me give my students the basics. I use scrap paper for printing and create online work when possible, but we still need the basics: paper and ink.

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

Our students and families are ready to learn and ready to succeed, supported by strong community involvement and pride in their families, heritage, and school. Our school population is 95% Hispanic, with nearly 41% learning English as a second language (ESL). Families and teachers prepare students for the pathway to college and career, which is key for our students because the average income for residents within the school's zip code is significantly less than the state's average.

Despite, and often because of such challenges, our students eagerly participate in both bilingual and monolingual curricula, along with many other opportunities for student growth including technology and engineering projects, ballroom dance, and after school wrap-around programs.

Our attendance is excellent because our students come here to learn and succeed.

My Project

Nothing fancy, nothing extra: we're simply in need of everyday staples to keep the classroom running and students working.

We are excited to learn computer science this year.

We work in the digital realm; we take field lessons–but at the end of the day, we need paper and ink for essential tasks and projects.

For financial and environmental reasons, I use materials sparingly. So, my last DonorsChoose.org supplies lasted a long time. However, it's time to restock: chart paper for student work and anchor charts, colored-paper to organize notes, and ink to print my lessons and their work. The basics.
