My students need a lot of love, care, and support from teachers. Our school is in a poverty-stricken area, where many students do not have the necessary supplies or tools they need to succeed. Building a warm, safe, inviting classroom community and environment is so important for my students.
My students are kind, caring, and ready to learn.
They are continuing to learn how to best communicate with friends and prevent bullying in our classroom. Classroom community is still something we are continuing to build throughout the year, not just in our class, but school-wide. We also strive to provide differentiated, culturally-responsive instruction and need more resources to do that.
I hope to receive support from DonorsChoose in order to help my students get necessary supplies, create a sense of community, safety, and comfort in my classroom, as well as help my students create long-lasting memories to help them connect positively to school. I appreciate your support in helping my students get what they need to learn and grow.
My Project
We are hoping to give our students a trip to the Buffalo Zoo! Many of our students will never have the opportunity to see a place like the zoo, so this would be the trip of a lifetime. They have a new rainforest exhibit that will be a hands on experience to enhance their biome unit in science. In addition, in third grade, we focus on life cycles and animal habitats, which is perfect for a zoo trip! We will be able to show students real animals that they have learned about in school! If you are generous in helping us go, we also plan to write an essay about the trip’s highlights! Please consider donating!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
