My Students

Do you remember your favorite classroom from elementary school? Was it a class where you did a lot of worksheets, or a classroom where you got to be involved in your learning? I'm striving to make an impact on my students' future by getting them involved in and excited about their learning.

My first grade students attend an urban charter school where 96% of our school is in poverty.

It is also our first year being open, which means we don't have access to a lot of supplies or curriculum necessary to help them accomplish their future goal of going to college and graduating in 2026.

My Project

Studies show that there is a 30-million-word deficit in young students who come from high poverty areas. The book “Bullying in Schools” as well as the reading and math centers will not only help to build my students’ vocabulary and math skills, but will also teach them how to deal with bullying situations by helping each other! These materials will help my students to build upon and improve skills that they will need for the rest of their lives, not to mention teaching them how to interact with others. We’re going to learn our way into beating back those bullies!

By donating to this project, you will be helping my first grade students to learn more, learn better, and learn faster!

Please help to build my students' future and show them that learning can be fun and hands on by giving to this project.
