My Students

I have the nicest and sweetest kindergarten class, full of all boys! They are always willing to help each other and learn from one another. They are fun, spunky, and the nicest group of kiddos ever.

The Title I school is located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and my class consists of 18 loving, fun, and amazing students.

Most of these students are ESL (English Second Language) students, and I want to provide the best education and make school an exciting place for them to go every day. I strive in my classroom to have a variety of different ways for students to choose the best learning style suitable for them.

My Project

Help me give my students a fun table to put outside for a variety of reasons. First the table can be used by more than just my class, so you not only help me but an entire school! We would love this to have picnic lunches, learning outside when weather permits, and to just take a break at times. We would love the donations for this and would appreciate it so much. This table and benches would just bring so much joy to school and allow us to have a place outside to relax and enjoy.
