My Project

My students have been making incredible progress in their academic journey, especially in Reading and Math skills. The introduction of the iReady curriculum has been instrumental in their progress, as it tailors lessons to each student's individual needs. However, we have encountered a challenge that is hindering their ability to fully engage with the curriculum.

My students are eager to learn and a small donation can make a big difference in creating an optimal learning environment for my amazing 1st grade students.

After investing in budget-friendly headphones, I've unfortunately discovered that their quality is subpar and they don't effectively support our students' learning environment. To ensure my students continue to excel, I am seeking your support in acquiring quality headphones that will enhance their educational experience.
