My Project

I have the best students in the world. The majority of my students are black and have lagged behind and because of the COVID pandemic they are functioning below grade level. My school is the safest place and I need to ensure their progress. I wish for them to succeed to be on top of their gear. I have the best job in the world to make a difference. Each day, I have the privilege of instructing students on how to use phonic and easy readers along with hands on activities to do problem-solving and learn basic reading comprehension skills and we need card stock to make phonics cards for center activities. . We need to improve their phonemic awareness and informational text skills.

Your kind support will help me bring their self-confidence up and support their daily reading.

We have centers but we need reading materials to improve phonics and comprehension skills. Your gift will provide them with books and task cards to work independently and in groups. We want all my students to be on a path to succeed.
