My Project

This project includes items for literacy centers, independent work, and displaying student work. Students are expected to work independently and in centers during our literacy block.

Student materials need to be easily accessible and organized.

Pencil boxes are for student desks. I saw them being used in another first grade classroom during an observation. Mesh bags are for organizing student manipulatives and literacy game pieces.

The pocket charts are displaying new reading curriculum vocabulary and high frequency word cards. Student work can be showcased using the pushpins as a quick way to hang without ruining it with staples.

Ms. L Lincoln International Studies School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
