More Tools for My Students

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Irby's classroom raised $165

My Students

I work at the best elementary school where all our students are on the road to success. My students are part of a Title I school in a big city. We have a very diverse population with students from over 92 countries and many students are English Language Learners.

Walk into my room and you will see the best group of students.

My classroom is a self-contained special education class. We have students with a variety of needs in both educational and life skills. Each student is unique and brings me joy when I see him or her succeed.

My Project

Take me out of the picture! My students are learning to read and write (as well as phonics skills) with the Secret Stories kit. How fun would it be if they could independently access the stories from our classroom tablet?

Don't forget to be creative!

I am asking for magnetic tiles to support creativity and fine motor skills. My students need these tools to be more independent and successful in the classroom.

We also need scissors for our lefty students as well as stamps that help make any paper have primary writing lines to give my students better practice with handwriting.
