Ms. Childs from Palm Beach Gardens FL is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

My Students

Teaching real world skills like professional dress, technology applications, personal finance, entrepreneurship, resume writing, coding and computer software is just a FEW things we do in our classroom!

We have the best students in the world who are thirsty for knowledge and a challenge.

Our students are rocks stars! We like to move in our classroom, collaborate, be creative and create new ideas. We are truly a family that learns from one another each and every day in our classroom.

My Project

Students come to school every day without the needed supplies to be successful. This causes time delays in classes and causes students to fall behind if they are unable to participate in class.

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs includes school supplies as tools for students!

Other supplies like poster boards and markers allow students to work in cooperative groups with hands on materials to illustrate their learning.

Without essentials like paper, tape, pens and pencils; class time and instruction suffer. We hope you will consider contributing to our students successes in and out the class room each and every single day!

Grades 6-8
