My Project

Peace Potential Donors,

I have a unique set of 8th graders ready to take on their last year of elementary learning!

With big goals ahead of them, I want to ensure they have an adequate classroom space to achieve all those goals. In this project, I have some bookshelves to hold all of the culturally relevant, enticing, and joyous books for them to read. I have built-in space in my classroom to hold books, but students use that space to create research projects on notable authors.

Additionally, I have included small notebooks to complete their Do Nows/Bell Ringers at the start of every class. Please donate to this cause to start the first day of these 8th graders last year in elementary on the right foot!
