My Students
95.9% of my 3rd-grade scholars live in areas of socioeconomic need where they have less access to resources. The majority of them receive free/reduced breakfast and lunch. My kids have access to fewer resources than kids in more affluent areas. They overcome systemic challenges on a daily basis and are still determined to succeed. I also have many immigrant kiddos and refugee kiddos. Many of them are English Language Learners - talented bilinguals, and in some cases, trilinguals! My students are empathetic, eager to learn and inspire me on a daily basis. They love to rescue every single bug they find. Moosetube and NTV are their favorite GoNoodle channels. And they love listening to read alouds.
My Project
Please help me give my students masks for school! With the rising rates of the new variant, my kids need masks more than ever! We had a strong supply at the beginning of the year, but now we're totally out!
My kids are trying really hard to mask up all day at school.
However, the kids might as well be eating the masks! I've tried giving them cloth masks and disposable ones. We've also tried lanyards! The only thing that works is always having masks available and positive reinforcement for not losing masks.
This whole project is just for masks! I've requested a large amount of plain disposable masks for everyday use. The majority of the masks are expensive because they have a better seal - they are KN95/KF95-esque for kids. I'm hoping these masks with a better seal will keep my kiddos safe and healthy!
