Starting off Successfully

Help me give my students materials that will enhance their remote learning experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reusche's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a diverse group of learners who come from all over the city to attend our public Montessori school, which is one of four in the city. They range in age from 3-6 years old. They come to school with varied interests and are excited to learn more in the classroom, garden and computer lab!

These learners are always looking to move and explore.

This is my fifth year with this group of students, and I am so excited to continue the great journey!

My Project

With enhanced remote learning technology, like a ring light, students will be able to see the material I am presenting remotely .The laminator will allow me to make quality works that we can use remotely and again in person. The folders will help me organize small group work. We love reading and the books will be read and adored all year long. We are constantly learning how to love and respect ourselves and others. Remote learning will not be easy but with your help, we can make the transition easier for these young students.
