My Students

Traveling back and forth between schools can be challenging. I have two classrooms at two different schools. Both schools are within five minutes of each other and are both Title 1 schools. This opportunity allows me to work with twice the number of students.

My third and second graders enjoy hands-on activities, as well as getting the opportunity to be creative and explore the world.

They enjoy getting the opportunity to move around the classroom and learn in various environments.

While I can take some materials with me between schools, I need to leave other materials behind. The Covid-19 Pandemic has added additional concerns and needs within my classroom. I need additional materials to ensure that all students have their own materials.

My students deserve to have safe and clean classrooms that are fully stocked with materials for their needs. I am a new teacher and working towards getting more materials for my students.

My Project

Being able to work with money is a crucial and practical life skill that all students need to be proficient in. Money is all around them and something that they will use for the rest of their lives.

These hand held money pouches will allow students to have their own individual pack of money to safely practice making change with.

These materials can be used with all ages if needed. Being able to make change and work with money is one of the most important life skills a student can learn to help support themselves.

Students will need to know how to make change when they go to the store, go out into the work field, and venture out in the world on their own. It is our job as educators, parents, administration, and community members to help children become prepared citizens for when they grow up.
