Mrs. Simental from El Paso TX is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Get Ready, Get Set, Go!

Help me give my students a power strip surge protector. We currently share two surge protectors making my classroom floor a spider web of cords on the floor making it dangerous.

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

As the year is coming to a close in just a couple of months, my team and I are preparing for the upcoming school year as I am embarking on a new adventure in teaching Special Education.

My students are still overcoming obstacles from the pandemic and will need help in obtaining headphones for their online learning, writing paper for the countless essays required for them to write, and charging stations for their devices so the flow does not look like we have spider webs everywhere.

My goal is to get as many resources as I can so that I do not burden my families with excessive amounts of requests for school supplies.
