My Project

My students attend a public school on the Leeward Coast of Oahu. Over ninety-five percent of our school's students are eligible for free or reduced lunches, and about half are of Hawaiian ancestry. These sweet students, my first graders, are a fun group that loves animals, outdoor activities, and learning through play and hands-on activities. They deserve the same educational opportunities as any other child; your support can help make that possible.

Please help me purchase a teaching easel for my classroom.

The easel will be used during class presentations, as a bulletin board, and as an interactive tool for modeling new concepts. A great feature of the easel is that it is 2-sided (magnetic and lined) and has wheels. It can rolled around the class for flexible learning groups, allowing the students to demonstrate their ideas and to share their thinking with peers. The students will use the magnetic counters, dry-erase pens, and chart paper during classroom activities. Thank you so much for considering my project. We appreciate your support!
