My Project

Our kids are in a high need area of the city and struggle with reading and math scores. Providing them with a clean environment to keep them healthy and school supplies that many children take for granted allows them to me to plan lessons that engage both the left and right sides of the brain to enhance their learning.

When there are manipulatives involved or I allow Chromebook access for reading books participation increases.

Such young children need access to these to help make abstract concepts concrete. Please help me with educational and cleaning supplies for our class. Thank you in advance for considering my project!

Sincerely,

Ms. Pettis
