My Project

I teach 1st grade in a high poverty area. My

school is a community school where our main focus is the good of the community is coming together for the success of our students.

This past year I taught 22 1st graders in a high needs classroom community. We made high strives this past year by earning the highest gains on Iready Reading and Math compared to 3 other 1st grade classes. Now I’m preparing for a new school year, and it’s essential that I prepare my classroom with needed supplies to start the 2025-2026 academic school year.

I need assistance with stocking my classroom with math manipulates and headphones that can be used during centers and small group instruction. My students need new headphones to use during intervention while working on Waterford and Iready Reading/Math. I am also asking for snacks to restock our classroom snack basket for any students that doesn’t have a snack to eat during our break time.

Your donation and generosity is greatly appreciated by my students and myself.

Thank you for supporting my classroom community and students around the globe.

Kindly,

Mrs. Johnson
