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 planning ahead for the next school year based on what worked this current school year. This school year, we had color-coded supplies to help keep us organized, and my students were very successful. As a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade science teacher, I get the pleasure of working with my students for 3 years. My students do better when their class supplies are color-coded and organized, and when they are motivated. I want to set them up for success for another year! So let's get started now!

To beautify our classroom and keep my students organized, please help me get color-coded folders, pre-sharpened pencils, pencil sharpeners, and erasers.

It's easy to find which class and grade has which supplies when they are organized by color. In addition, the shelves look like a rainbow, which brings a nice ambience to the classroom.

To keep my students motivated, I also want to get them fun pencils with animal erasers. It's a small prize that goes a long way. If I have the supplies all set and my students are motivated to learn, it will be a successful year in science class! Thank you in advance for helping me!
