My Students

My students need the opportunity to fulfill their dreams. With the virus, we are turning to a new way to learn. My students need basic supplies so they can learn at home. I need to provide in my students home the same experiences I do in the classroom.

"None of us, including me, ever do great things But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful" – Mother Teresa.

I need your help. I teach in a school where many of my students qualify for free lunch. My families are hardworking and we could all use some help to make sure each child has what they need to learn. My children are little, just 3, 4 and 5 years old. They don't learn on the computer. They learn with their hands. I sent home packs with them that include some basic supplies, but they need more. And that's where you come in. Can you help me give my preschool children what they need to learn?

My Project

We were not prepared for what happened. We are trying hard to make the best of the worst situation. The supplies I am requesting will allow me to bag up learning packs so that my students will have what they need to learn while sheltering in place in our homes. But I need your help.

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much" – Helen Keller.

I am requesting paper and drawing materials from pencils to markers. The project also includes materials to tap into our creative side including play dough, pipe cleaners, glue, rolling pins, and cookie cutters. We also need magnet boards and letters. I am also asking for counters to work on our math skills. When school returns, the students will be able to return the materials back to school that were unused for use for the rest of the year.
