My Project

I love the rush of energy and excitement that comes with a new school year. My goal is to already have my students armed with the tools that they need to learn.

These organizational cubes, bins and rolling cart will make our shared school supplies available to students so no child need to worry about how they're going to get them.

The tabletop easel pad will provide a way for my students to brainstorm in their small groups. My 6th graders will be raring to go on day one because of your generosity and kindness.

With the tools of learning organized and in place, my class will be able to tackle their reading and writing head-on without missing a beat.
