My Students

We are a group of driven, hardworking, and determined 4th grade students. Our classroom consists of students that understand the importance of education, and its lasting impact on our lives. We are an inner city elementary Title I school where 100% of our students receive free lunch. My school is dedicated to nurturing productive and caring citizens. Your donation will aid in showing them what great character is, so that they may use your example for their own future endeavors.

My Project

Hello Donors, I am asking for just the basics to get my small groups up and running. We need stools, index card-stock paper to use for task cards in our small groups and chalkboard markers. These necessities will aid us in successful, organized, and easily functioning small groups. With your donation, students will be able to transition easily from their desks to the guided reading and writing tables. The stools will provide students with a place to sit during small groups without the hassle of moving their chairs across the room to the small groups table. The ease in transition means less time wasted moving chairs, and more time learning!!!
