My Project

The second semester "blues" can be a true struggle. This is especially true with our youngest scholars as the weather warms up, and all they want is to be outdoors enjoying fun in the sun. However, it's the second semester where learning has the potential to really soar.

Bring small tangible incentives to my classroom so student learning will accelerate until the end of the school year.

Items like slime, small snacks, glow items, and so much more can really bring a smile to a child's face and make them want to excel so they can have those special items. Your donations could help my students have all the extra motivation they need as they march their way towards 1st grade.
