My Project

In September, my third-grade students were struggling both socially and academically. Yes, a large part of this situation was due to the pandemic and their inability to succeed at third grade skills.

That is turning around.

Their behavior has improved and they have a multitude of personal interests that they share. We enjoy our discussions and subsequently make connections and research through good literature and our classroom "tv'" Through one of our discussions, we talked about crocheting and crafts in general. Unfortunately, I cannot buy them the needed materials to teach them.

They are excited that we may be able to follow through thanks to your organization. One more thing. These children can certainly learn a skill that would help them relax, feel accomplished, maybe start a little business, and get them away from the screen.!!! Thank you in advance.
