Starting the School Year Right!

Help me give my students the tools they need to succeed this year: chart paper for guided reading and journals to help students' social emotional learning!

My Students

Our school is located on the Southeast side of Chicago. We strive to create choices for our students and provide them with the education they need to succeed in high school, college, and a career of their choice.

My students bring incredible light into my classroom and deserve high-quality instructional materials to help them shine!

When my students walk into their classroom on the first day of school, I want them to be excited about their education, the space they get to learn in, and feel comforted knowing all the physical materials they need to learn will be provided for them.

My Project

My third grade students will be journaling this year to aid in their social emotional learning. By supplying students with their own journal and stickers to decorate it, I hope to encourage them to process their emotions in productive ways and stay ready to learn!

My students will be engaging in guided reading groups this year, improving their literacy skills and cultivating their love of reading!

With chart paper and Sharpies, we will be able to record our thoughts and display them in the classroom. A Chromebook will help improve our school's technology-to-student ratio and open doors for students.
