Grammar Is Important

Help me give my students these grammar workbooks we will be using this school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Dandapani's classroom raised $331

My Project

I teach a self-contained 7th and 8th-grade special education class in Harlem, New York. I have a class of students with a variety of unique skills, as well as various needs. For years, these students have, in some way or another, not had their needs met, in and/or outside the classroom. They are behind grade level in their literacy skills, and I am determined to help build them up and prepare them for high school with the grammar books requested. Your help is extremely meaningful and will be greatly appreciated!
