Every Little Bit Helps

My students need phonics centers for low readers, a paper storage and supply center, a play kit for outside recess, and an electric pencil sharpener to be ready to work.

With your help, my students and I can have a productive school year with all the supplies that we need!

Things such as organizers, pencil sharpeners or even outside toys are furthest from the list of things teachers are given. Although this is the case, they are still needed in order to run a productive, organized classroom. With your help, my students can have these things.

The biggest most influential thing a person can do is help a child succeed. By donating to this project you can help several children succeed. The phonics kit will allow me to create a phonics center in order to help build those lower readers. It will help them move to the next reading level. The play kit will come in handy with maximizing the children's playtime, considering they don't have a playground. The pencil sharpener, supply center and paper storage center will all help to give us the organization that we desperately need in order to run an efficient classroom. Also, this will allow students to access the materials they need alone.

With your support, all these things can be purchased. Without support from donors like you we might not ever get the things we need. Please tell these children that people do care. Tell them that there future does matter. Tell them that we still have a community that cares. Tell them these things and so much more by simply donating. Thank you!
