Help me give my students hands-on materials to keep them interested in learning while not in school.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Penn's classroom raised $279
This project is fully funded
My Students
Our school has utilized distance learning since March 16th. We have developed online curriculum for students to access.
Despite the district distributing needed technology, my students don't have the adult support to be able to complete their online assignments.
They need hands-on materials in order to keep learning during this time.
My Project
Despite having technology to use, some of my students are not able to access the internet consistently. Some are being raised by grandparents or have parents who are working ten hours a day and do not have the adult support they need in order to do their assignments.
These materials will give my special needs students hands-on activities that they can do again and again in order to master basic reading and writing skills.
They will love the tiles to build words and the magnetic boards to practice their writing skills. They will have fun flipping the word family books to get faster and faster at reading the words. The level one books will help them put their basic sight words into real reading practice.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
