My Students

When most people go to work, they are greeted by a computer, a register, or a telephone. I get greeted by tiny, smiling faces that are eager to learn. These amazing students are the reason I gladly stay till five at night, come in on the weekends, and toss and turn at night thinking about their successes and areas of improvement.

There is growing scientific evidence that shows students environments greatly impact their ability to learn and their test scores.

My goal create a classroom environment and provide supplies that help students thrive to the best of their ability. My students are kind, giving, happy and dedicated to their education. Knowing that cheeseburgers are my favorite food, I often hear "Mrs. Crane, meet me in the cafeteria, cheeseburgers are on the menu today. You can share mine with me!" They have pride in who they are, how hard they work at school, and the bond we have made. At my school, more than half of our students are economically disadvantaged, and many come from foster programs and/or are English language learners. Donating to my class today will not only help my current students but also many more to come!

My Project

My students are in need of bookcases that allow them to access engaging books easily. Currently, my class does not have appropriate bookcases that allow students to explore books and practice their reading.

The more books students have access too is proven to increase their reading scores.

These two pieces of furniture will given my students an age appropriate way to organize the class books. The display case will allow students access to the months special books that focus on out theme, special holidays are relevant events in their life. The big bookcase allows students to pick through hundred of books that they find interesting.
