My Students

My students are a wonderful and exciting group of boys and girls, in an ICT (integrated collaborative teaching) classroom. This means that 40% of my students are in special education, and the rest are in general education.

We are a Title I school and work hard to ensure that everyone learns and succeeds.

I want them to have everything they need, and deserve to have, to make their school year exciting and fun, as well as productive and successful throughout the entire year.

My Project

My little ones are kindergarten babies who are starting out their school year. They are excited and want to learn. They need materials like primary journals for writing, pencil boxes to hold their crayons, and pencils and folders for classwork. The different color folders will help us organize the different subjects that are taught throughout the school week. The book baggies are plastic baggies that will hold their just-right books between home and school each day. Please help my little ones receive the much-needed materials to help their school year to run smoothly. They deserve to have the materials to have a successful school year. Thank you!
