My First DonorsChoose Project

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed. I'm a first-year teacher coming in halfway through the year trying to get caught up and catch my students up to where they need to be.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mckenzie's classroom raised $449

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have been through four different teachers and substitutes this year, until me. They are the best group of kids; they love learning, especially counting, and just want to succeed. As a first-year teacher, coming in halfway through the year to a class that hasn’t had a real teacher in it all year, I’m struggling and just want to give them what they need to succeed. These materials, Peel Stick Magnet Dots, At-Your-Seat Storage Sack and Book Rings will help me be more organized for them and allow me to finally start giving them what they all deserve and need.
