Ms. Kennedy from Commack NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Progress Not Perfection

Help me give my students access to materials on their level. I am lucky enough to have students who speak over 7 different languages. I would love to get them materials for extra support.

My Project

My school is very diverse! I have students from Russia, Korea, China, Hungary, Japan, El Salvador, Honduras, Ecuador, Turkey, Israel, Pakistan and Ukraine.

We have students at varying levels of English language proficiency.

Some students had access to education in their home country and for some it was an interrupted education. My job is to level the playing field for these students and help them feel and be successful in their educational journey.

My goal is to create a safe, encouraging and fun space for them to learn and grow.

Grades 3-5
