My Students
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." -Babe Ruth
I want my students to have a safe, comfortable space in which they can keep trying no matter how difficult the material can be. Their classroom should make them confident to push themselves.
My students are always active and engaged in the classroom.
They work on lots of individual and group work projects. Fourth grade is a year when kids start becoming more independent. In my classroom, I am teaching students to be self-reliant and organized with their work and supplies.
My students are impoverished fourth grade students who are in an integrated co-teaching classroom. Some students have mild learning or language delays. Other students are new to the country and are learning the English language. The students are hard-working and are always eager to learn more!
My Project
This new rug will give my students an alternate place to learn a lesson. This way, I can have two lessons going at the same time so my students can have a smaller teacher-to-student ratio. Also, this rug will be right next to our classroom library, so they can use the space to curl up with a good book.
Every donation makes a huge difference and is extremely appreciated!
Every little bit will enable my students to get the most out of their education. They are always so excited to introduce new items to the classroom that can help them learn in a variety of ways.
More than half of students from low‑income households
