With your help, my students can have access to wonderful materials that will supplement their learning. I am a first-year teacher, teaching fifth grade in a small town. I have 18 wonderful students with different ability levels. My goal is to give them the most positive school year possible. I desire to make their last elementary year a jumping-off point as they prepare to enter middle school. I plan to challenge them to be the very best they can be and build into them a love and thirst for learning. I want to encourage them to always strive for excellence. With your help, my students will grow in their abilities, through the materials you will help me provide for them. For this specific project, I am asking for help getting a storage unit for my students’ take-home materials so they do not have to store them in their messy desks and risk losing or forgetting items.
