Help Us Focus Next School Year!

Help me give my students an advantage next school year. After a difficult year due to covid-19, I have found that students need more practice with sight words and multiplication/division. Funding this project will help 120 students!

My Students

My students are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and questioners. They are mini inspirations to themselves and others around them, even if they don't know it yet. They are budding ambassadors, world travelers, scientists, entrepreneurs, teachers...

I want to give my students the materials to practice their 21st century skills in all academic subject areas and civic settings throughout a student’s life.

I teach an amazing group of third graders! These wonderful students remind me every day how thoughtful and kind they are. They are also thirsty for knowledge and opportunities for extended learning. It's not all about the curriculum...sometimes the best lessons are the follow up ones we have because their interest has been sparked and they can handle another level of learning. Thank you for supporting our budding learners!

My Project

We have all had a crazy school year. Some of us on distance learning, some of us hybrid, with rosters changing often. Some students have fallen behind with their reading skills. The sight word book is a must for 3rd grade. It will allow us to focus right away on what matters most. And the most important thing to learn in third grade math is multiplication and division. Knowing this, these books will help us get started from the beginning of the school year! Thank for your consideration with this project!
