My Project

Thank you so much for visiting this page and considering giving us funding. Even if you do not donate, we are thankful for you.

I am requesting organizational bins, basic classroom supplies, and stem supplies that go along with our literacy unit.

Last school year our district chose a curriculum in which it is difficult to navigate and is repetitive. By allowing kids to dig for their own fossils, plant their own plants and watch pollinators grow, you are giving them a hands on experience that enhances the information given to them in the books they read in class.

In addition, you will be providing us with organizational bins for our classroom library and school supplies, to make things more accessible to students. Currently our library is not organized and students could not fit their supplies into the fabric pencil cases. Many of my students come to school without supplies such as folders, pencils, glue, crayons, etc, and I would like to be able to provide that, along with homework and different cut and paste activities for them to receive a hands on education.

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this, and if you felt led, your donation. Every donation helps a kid, and a teacher.
