Making Disastrous Moves!

Help me give my students reading opportunities and stem opportunities to learn more.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martin's classroom raised $991

My Project

The specific items that I am requesting will make a difference for my students by giving them a broader outlook on reading and coping with the challenges that a disaster can cause. Local disasters have impacted students from classrooms by not being able to go to school, stress, anxiety, and a sense of not having the reinforcements to provide quality education, such as the loss of books. With the resources that I have chosen my students will be able to choose books that are on their level and they can read on their own. They love hands-on projects and using their thinking process.
