Our school is a public charter school in our nation's capitol. We are an early elementary education team with 42 students in our combined classes.

Students are learning to trace, cut and paste daily for emergent writing practice. Having stencils to trace and cut will give students more practice, help with literacy skills and give them the opportunity to decorate their space.

By learning how to use this child friendly die cutter students will be able to decorate their classroom for specific holidays, create class books for the library and make seasonal gifts and cards for their families. A storage rack for tools will teach students to return materials to their proper place. As mom used to say "there's a place for everything and everything in it's place".

Your generosity has outfitted these classrooms tremendously. We are grateful for your support, students love coming to school each day and teachers are excited about teaching. Imagine that! The battle is half done because you support our learning through Donors Choose!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
