My Project

Everyday, 30+ students, ranging from K-5, visit my classroom for interventions in reading and math, sometimes for both. These students have struggled with learning and are considered at least 2 years behind their current grade-level. Regardless, they are all excited about learning and growing academically.

"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." — BB King

When students are in my classroom, the light covers will create a calm atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Students will also be motivated, with the silicone bracelets and charms, to work harder than ever before.

My goal is to create an environment where students feel empowered, gain self-confidence, and grow academically. With your support, we can make learning fun for these kiddos.

With the requested supplies, I would have enough to last for several years and impact

Thank you.

Mrs. Matteson Nelson Elementary School Grades 3-5
