My students are from a small, rural community and attend a small K-8 school. Our school is its own district of approximately 180 students. One of the most amazing facts about the school I teach at is it happens to be the same school I graduated from, and also my dad before me. The building/campus I teach in is the same one I attended way back when!
In a way, so much has changed and at the same time, the students are just the same.
They are lively, energetic, and love to learn! Our school might be small and our budget is too, but that does not mean I do not strive to give my students the very best of everything they need to make their learning experience the best I can. This way their love of learning can be met with the resources they need. With this Donors Choose project, I will be one step closer to offering my students a comfortable and inviting place to learn.
My Project
My kiddos are so proud of the work they do and can not wait to take it home and show it off. However, at the moment our classroom doesn't have a place, or system in place, where students can store their completed work until they leave at the end of the day. A cubby, or classroom mailbox system, would allow for storage of complete work or home communication to be storage until the end of the day when students need to pack up to go home. They could then go to their designated mailbox gather their papers for their folder and pack up. This seems like such a simple tool and task, but would really empower my students and teach them valuable tools about being responsible and in charge of their own learning. Help me to get a mailbox/cubby system for my classroom so I can empower my young learners and build powerful skills in them that will last long into their educational careers.
