Help me help them learn! I teach 3rd grade in a high poverty school in Illinois. Each of my 21 students love when the 'literacy station' time of the day rolls around. What my students need most are care, support, and motivation to achieve success! You can help with their motivation.

We are in need of a variety of activities for us to use during our learning station time. Reading comprehension is a huge part of our Illinois State Tests. Students need to be motivated in order to maximize their learning. I am calling on you to help us learn!

My solution is to provide my students with a variety of games that will help them increase their knowledge on skills such as cause and effect, making inferences, and fact and opinion, among others all while enjoying doing it! My students need these resources which I am not currently able to provide. It is so important for my students to have a high interest in what we are learning in order to fully succeed.

Thank YOU for taking the time and resources to provide my 21 students with the items necessary in order to maximize learning and have success on our Illinois State Tests! With your help, my students can have fun AND learn at the same time, which is an absolutely priceless combination!
