Ms. Burkus from South Bend IN is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Help Build Our Classroom Library and Resources

Help me give my students materials that coincide with our units and can give them different resources of information. Our school is also a STEAM academy; we are in need of materials that allow hands-on learning!

My Students

My kindergarten class is full excited students who can't wait to ask questions and learn. They are creative, eager, and love to use hands-on materials. They come to school each day excited to learn and ready to explore new things!

Curious, determined, and inspiring; my students are so excited to learn how to read.

They love looking through our classroom library for a story they can dive into. My students are always excited when they get their hands-on a book that they love and can use their imagination and creativity to fit the pictures.

My Project

The materials and supplies I am requesting already have a perfect home in our classroom. These materials will directly support our units and will make learning exciting and fun with the variety of books I have requested. Our school is also a STEAM Academy which allows us to integrate creativity into all of our units; the Keeva blocks and Lincoln Logs will be perfect additions in our classroom that students can build and use their imagination.

The donations to this project will help improve my students' understanding of many concepts and support our units in an authentic and meaningful way.
