Our school is located in Oakland, CA. This year I have 29 students; most of which are also from Oakland, CA. My students have a love and passion for learning. They have been so excited to be back to school in person. I want to honor all of their hard work this year by providing them with the best materials to showcase their work!
My Project
My third-grade students have been working hard for months researching and becoming experts of different species of frogs and learning about adaptations that have helped them survive in their various environments. Students are creating their very own informational books that will be used to teach younger students about their research. They have been working hard designing and editing their books, and they are almost ready to be published for classroom use. We need materials to make their hard work official. We ask for a color printer, ink, paper, and binding to make their products real and honor all of their hard work! Their books will not only be used this year but will benefit other students in another classroom for years to come!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
