My Project

As a second-grade teacher, I have the opportunity to help young minds grow into confident readers, curious thinkers, and kind classmates. I would like to give my students a warm and inviting classroom where they have the tools they need to thrive.

With your support, I’m hoping to stock our classroom with supplies that help create a warm, organized, and inspiring learning space.

Having reading buddies, such as Frog and Toad, will help students who enjoy reading out loud. These students may struggle with reading and find comfort in reading to a stuffed animal.

When students have what they need, such as dry-erase boards, they feel prepared and proud—ready to take on new challenges, explore big ideas, and work together as a team. Your generosity helps set the stage for joyful learning and success every single day.

Thank you for believing in our classroom!

Ms. Dubin Cook - Wissahickon Elementary School Grades PreK-2
