My Students

Located in a high-need community, our school is a neighborhood elementary school that has just finished transitioning to a K-8 structure. My first graders are actively engaged in learning and are eager to learn how to read and use this new skill to further their understanding in all subject areas.

First grade is an exciting learning experience for both teacher and student.

As a fourth year teacher, I am dedicated to providing my students with quality learning experiences and a variety of mediums to help strengthen their skills. However, it is up to the teacher to provide much of the resources and equipment that would create such a varied and rich environment. As a result of state and national testing requirements, our school day overwhelmingly focuses on language arts and math instruction. It is often difficult to teach first graders language arts for three hours and math for an hour and a half without losing their attention. Regardless of their developmental needs, this is the expectation for my first grade students.

My Project

In order to break up the monotony while still reinforcing basic literacy skills taught in first grade, I am requesting two Tag Readers,2 storage boxes and a small collection of Tag storybooks. These Tag Readers would reinforce basic language arts skills such as fluency, phonics, sight word vocabulary, and problem solving strategies. With such a variety of skills and concepts, these Tag Readers would be a valuable resource all year-round!

With your help, students will have the opportunity to enrich their education and develop a natural love and curiosity for reading.

As Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Change the world for my students by funding this proposal!
