My Students

Hello! I am a third-grade classroom teacher from a Title I school with over 50% of the students qualifying for free or reduced-priced lunch. My students are kindhearted and passionate learners who are very active! They enjoy moving around the classroom and appreciate positive attention and choices.

Many of my students face challenges beyond their control.

I am looking for simple ways to help them become inspired and grow as learners. I want them to come to school and see a place that is safe, comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their needs.

My Project

My classroom is a busy place full of students who are excited and eager to learn. We do many projects throughout the school year to keep my students active and engaged in the learning process. However, these projects require materials such as paper, tape, folders, and pencils. With today's tight school budgets, it is often difficult to get the basic supplies we need in order to teach in our classrooms. By the end of the year, many of these supplies have run out.

This project will restock my classroom with fresh supplies for the next school year and help my students to have a successful 3rd-grade experience.

New folders will allow my students to keep track of important documents such as the graphs they make weekly to track their progress in reading and math. Construction paper and tape are used often to foster students creativity and bring our classroom projects to life. As a teacher, I also need new chart paper to create anchor charts for our walls and provide visual reminders to my students of what they have learned. I would love your help in providing my students with these vital materials that they need to learn and grow in my classroom!
