My Students

These kids have a heart of gold and are ready to conquer new daily challenges each and everyday. I currently have two sets of kids both in hybrid learning models. Some in which have never physically meet, only on our Google meets. They range from 6-7 years old and come with a wide variety of home styles. Though we are a family of first graders their needs are vast and some are still learning at beginning preschool level while others are achieve fifth grade mastery.

My Project

I am requesting book bins for my students' stories and a place to escape too! With these new book bins my students will be able to choose from a variety of books and give them a HOME for them that will allow independent reading at their own level. Students will stay organized and have their own literacy box for their reading materials.

Materials may need to travel home with the children if we move yo distance learning and will Come back once we return to in person.

I want the children to have a HOME for their stories and a special place to turn to when they need a story to escape too.
