My Project
I have new students who love to create and discuss new ways to repurpose items. Everyday students go to centers that I created and I would like them to create their own center, with items that they voted on. Please help their wish come true, to have a center that they will take full ownership on and let their innovative ideas flourish.
My students love to "Turn and Talk" about new ideas that they have and how they wish they had those items in our classroom.
Please help them build a student-center that they can go and create in. They love to use their hands and well as talk to their peers about what they made. I work with low-income students and many do not have any learning materials in their homes. Everyday a student has a new idea. Today a student held up the letter U and I asked her what is a word that begins with the letter U. She said, "Universe"! Sadly, I don't have the materials for her to make a universe. Your donations could help their ideas flourish.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
