My Project

I have the best students in the world. A majority of my students have lagged behind because of the COVID pandemic and are functioning below grade level. My school is the safest place and I need to ensure their progress. I wish for them to succeed to be on top of their game. I have the best job in the world to make a difference. Each day, I have the privilege of instructing students on how to use nicely illustrated reading books, and strategy games to learn to read, do problem-solving and learn basic reading comprehension skills. We need to improve their thinking skills.

Your kind support will help me bring their scores up and help assist me with accelerating their learning and reading comprehension skills.

We'd like to have Idioms books along with 100 PICS Riddles, learning so that our students will be able to accelerate and gain the lost time because of COVID and give them stability and learning opportunities.

My students feel as if it is too challenging and stressful to learn and be on task. These books will enable us to provide students with modern tools to work in the future. They will learn to read and write and learn basic grammar skills and learn to read and write at school while having FUN at school
