Having a Cool Time in Our Classroom!

My students need a fan, clock, and kitchenware to tell time and keep our classroom cool and clean.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lui's classroom raised $204

My Students

My second graders are voracious readers! They love to read both fiction and non-fiction books. Their favorite characters include Pete the Cat, Fly Guy, Piggie and Elephant, and Mercy Watson. They also love to read about insects, space, and plants. My students are hungry bookworms! They are eager to learn and read about the world around them.

My students love to be at school and are like little sponges absorbing everything around them.

Their parents work long hours and usually do not see their children. The children are usually cared for by their grandparents or a family friend. Most of them do not have someone who speaks English at home. Thus, it is difficult for students to acquire language.

Due to financial hardships, my students do not have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities during the school year or summer.

My Project

It is important for students to learn how to tell time. Time for lunch! Time for Physical Education! Time for dismissal! This will be impossible with a broken clock in our classroom. With a new clock, we will be able to tell time to the minute and be punctual! In addition, it will be refreshing to read, write and do math with cool air circulating in the classroom. The hot sun beats down on our classroom every day​. Lastly, the dish rack, drain board, utensil holders will help us organize the plates, forks, and spoons we will use during snack time and celebrations in our classroom.

By donating to this project, it will help both students and teachers to work comfortably in our home away from home for the whole school year!
