The fifth grade is a crazy emotional time for all students, but especially students who know they are low. The fifth grade is a crucial time, in that it is when they are deciding who they are and want to be. I have to make school cool and fun, or I may lose them.
My students come from a very low income area in Oklahoma, and would benefit greatly from any supplies they can get.
Their parents and I are doing our best to get them the little things, and need your help in getting a few larger things to help them. They are such an amazing group of young people, so kind, and gracious. You cannot imagine how happy they will be to know that someone out there cares enough to help them. They are excited learners, and I hope to keep them that way by keeping my room bright and fun.
My Project
This is my second project with DonorsChoose; after my first project, I realized that I did not get enough materials to help all of my students. So I am asking for more iPads, and more Hot Dot pens to help the students stay busy during intervention times, and to have fun learning during those times. The iPad I got before has helped so much already, and I have already seen what an impact it is having on the students that are getting to use it, but it is only one iPad. If I had more, the students using them wouldn't have to share and could use the time more efficiently.
My students need a chance.
I feel by giving them the tools they need, I am giving it to them. Some of them are on the line between whether school is for them or not, and I want to push them in the right direction. Please help me keep my students interested in school as well as build an excitement for learning.
