My Students

Our classroom is in a small, Title I, school located in Jacksonville, Florida. Our school is home to the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme which means that our focus is to develop our students into life-long learners. Our school is at the highest poverty level where 100% of our scholars are receiving both free breakfast and lunches daily, but don't let that fool you... what they lack in financial backing, they make up for in spirit and a love of learning! We have passion everywhere you look... but what we need is help with funding the basic items needed for success.

My students greet every day with smiles on their faces and a love of learning in their hearts - they are so ready for what the day has in store for them!

Despite so many hardships, my first grade scholars are eager to learn and ready to do their very best!

My Project

While school remains closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic my students are in great need of some of the 'comforts of the classroom' that provide them with a stable learning environment.

The 4 items I am requesting will help support my students while we are learning online and continue to be just as useful once we return to our (brick and mortar) classroom.

The headsets will be ideal for students who do not have them already at home. (Critical for online work.) They will be just as useful when we return to the classroom and continue our learning with technology. The people magnets will serve as terrific manipulatives while we continue our work with addition/subject during our online lessons. They will be just as useful when we return to the classroom because they can be used to track our daily attendance. The light-up timer will be a perfect visual to help pace our online lessons and will continue to be a great visual aid when we return to the classroom. Lastly, the supply caddies will be helpful in allowing us to organize both our online learning materials now and help us to stay organized when we return to the classroom.
