My Students

The kids are our school are awesome!

I have been so impressed with how they've handled all the challenges that have come their way the past two years.

They have tried hard to adapt, even when the changes come quickly! We have a large school, with almost 1,000 students in K-6, which bring even more challenges in the times of COVID. The kids deserve the best and we would LOVE to be able to add more to our reading program with the help of this donation!

My Project

Wow! Where do I start? These materials and books will help my students be engaged and interested in the topics at hand, while learning to track their progress and track their thinking.

I will be able to help ALL my students by giving them resources they are interested in, and excited to learn about.

My class helped choose all the books so I know they will be well received and it is so important that students learn to monitor their own learning, tracking data and progress, which I'm excited to implement further with these materials. Thank you!
