My Students

We have 20 wonderful children who are eager to learn. Most of our children have come from at risk and low income families. We want to make sure the children and families are provided with the materials they need to succeed this includes a place they can feel safe and secure. This is the first time that most of the children have been in a learning environment. They are learning social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills that will last a lifetime.

My Project

We really need materials that the children will be able to use to expand their literacy skills. These materials will do just that. These materials covers sequencing, letter recognition, letter sounds, and much more. The storage containers without lids will give the children easy access to the materials so they can be independent.

Please help our child get the materials to expand their literacy skills.

Many of our children come from at-risk families that may not always have the resources or time to help teach their children the literacy skills that they will need to be successful in school and in life.
