Filling The Gaps

Help me give my students and me items to promote success in our classroom and increase academic success.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Barber's classroom raised $705

This project is fully funded

My Project

My goal is to increase student achievement through small group instruction and decrease student absenteeism. Your donation to my intervention classroom will have a profound impact on my students' learning experiences. The carefully selected items, such as educational games, manipulatives, and specialized technology, are designed to meet the diverse needs of struggling learners. These tools will help create a more engaging and supportive environment, allowing students to grasp concepts more effectively. By providing tailored resources, you are empowering students with the skills they need to succeed academically and boosting their confidence. Your generosity will not only improve their education but also inspire a love for learning and growth.
