Safe and Effective Classroom!

Help me give my students the materials such as notebooks and markers they will need when we return face to face. In addition Kleenex, and other disinfecting products will help keep them well.

My Students

This year I will be teaching gifted and talented 5th grade. All other 5th grade classes will be departmentalized, but I will have my babies all day. With COVID-19 we really don't know what education is going to look like. We will probably start out virtually but will hand out supplies as a drive through.

Through the years of teaching here, I love the fact that although the majority of my students come from low income homes, they are so thankful for all that is given to them, they take care of it, and use it to benefit their learning.

They want to learn and create a better life for themselves.

Any materials donated through this project will be used as general supplies for students as many families cannot afford to purchase them due to loss of jobs, layoffs, etc. Times are tough but our children come first!

My Project

Hand sanitizer, Lysol, and wipes will ensure the classroom is safe and clean. Markers, notebooks, and paper will be specifically for the students. As we start with online learning I want students to have notebooks, markers, and paper to assist in learning.

When students return to school face to face I want to make sure they are in a clean, safe, sanitized classroom.

Their safety is of greatest importance.

These students will be treated and protected as if they are my own.

Any and all donations are greatly appreciated in such an uncertain time. We need provide as much normalcy as we can.
