My Project

Dear Donors,

Please help me to organize my students and myself with these items.

My ICT students are very special because they come from very diverse backgrounds but have one thing in common: success! Student folders are needed for them and the classroom teachers. We need them for daily work and assessment folders. There is no way to be successful without teaching organizational skills to them and by modeling ourselves. It will help them learn responsibility and take ownership of their work. Thank you in advance for working with my class to help my students meet their needs.

Ms. Wishy PS 159 Isaac Pitkin Grades PreK-2
