My Students

"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." -Babe Ruth I want my students to have a safe space in which they can keep trying no matter how difficult the material can be. Their classroom supplies should help to make them confident to push themselves.

My students are always active and engaged in the classroom.

They work on lots of individual and group work projects. Fourth grade is a year when kids start becoming more independent. In my classroom, I am teaching students to be self-reliant and organized with their work and supplies. My students are impoverished fourth grade students who are in an integrated co-teaching classroom. Some students have mild learning, language, and processing delays. Other students are new to the country and are learning the English language. My students are hard-working and are always eager to learn more!

My Project

These five cases for iPads will protect the iPads that my class just got from Donors Choose (from many generous donations). These cases will enable my students to use our new iPads and keep them safe. This will ensure that we can get the most possible use out of our precious iPads. With these cases, my students will be ready to use our iPads...they can't wait!

Every donation makes a huge difference and is extremely appreciated!

Every little bit will enable my students to get the most out of their education. They are always so excited to introduce new items to the classroom that can help them learn in a variety of ways.
