My Students

I teach 3rd grade in a rural area in Maine. My students come from a small school of 200 students. We have a variety of backgrounds. My hardworking students challenge themselves every day to be the best learners they can be. My students love learning, and love to be fully immersed in what they are learning!

With the help of your donation, I can give them the supplies they need to be successful!

Thank you so much for considering donating to our project!

My Project

For this project, my students and I are looking for several items to help get us through the school year. First, we are looking for several different books to support our classroom curriculum.

Next, we are looking for several different STEM projects for my gifted students.

I am also looking to provide each student with a set of multiplication flash cards to help them learn their facts!

To keep us healthy, I am looking for Wet Wipes for hand washing. We also are in need of pencils and Expo markers. Lastly, I am looking for fidgets for my busy group of 3rd graders!

Thank you so much for supporting my classroom and my 3rd graders learning!
