My Project

Being a first year teacher in an urban, high immigrant area of Philadelphia, is very challenging. With these tools, I will be able to ensure that my students have what they need to have a memorable, exciting, and rigorous kindergarten experience to prepare them for first grade and beyond. My students are bright and eager to learn and will greatly benefit from proper materials to provide an optimal learning atmosphere that sparks creativity and academic achievement.

The funds raised will be used to acquire fundamental classroom supplies such as writing materials, interactive learning resources, and other tools.

These resources will also help assist any potential resource gaps that may hinder my students' success. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
