Composing Our Way Through 3rd Grade

Help me give my students the materials they need to experience a successful learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dixon's classroom raised $1,275

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love that my third-grade students are full of energy, imagination, and a growing sense of independence. They’re at such a special age—eager to learn, excited to try new things, and beginning to find their voice through writing and expression.

Your support will make a direct impact on their daily experiences, helping them reach their full potential and believe in what’s possible.

These school supplies, including glue sticks, pencils, folders, and a pocket chart, will help create a well-organized, engaging classroom where every child has what they need to succeed. Students will be able to enjoy reading with new books in our reading corner on soft rugs, and students will be able to take the state assessment comfortably with the use of headphones.

Ms. Dixon Konnoak Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
