My Project

Hi there, I'm an international teacher who moved here from a different country. I joined here, because I saw how much my students needed reading materials, particularly in this Alaskan community where they need reading manipulatives that will engage them and help them to read.

Since the majority of my students are COVID babies, who missed school for years and are still struggling to read fundamental words in the third grade, I want them to be as proficient of readers as possible.

I am requesting an writing cart, and activity center and a rug to provide and engaging reading opportunity.

I also included some snacks to help me keep their attention and passion of reading stimulated.

I would truly appreciate it if you could donate.
