My Project

I am requesting donations on behalf of the bright and enthusiastic fifth-grade students of 5 Yellow at Silver Spring Intermediate School. I am embarking on an exciting journey to enhance the learning experience for our students through a comprehensive Global Economy Unit.

In order to provide my students with a well-rounded understanding of the global economy, I am seeking your support to acquire essential materials for this unit.

Your generous donation will directly contribute to the purchase of related chapter books in their learning journey.

My primary goal is to cultivate global citizens who possess a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of the world economy. By providing our students with access to related literature, I aim to:

-bring economic theories to life by illustrating how they manifest in everyday situations.

-bridge the gap between theory and real-world application.

- witness the impact of economic decisions on individuals, communities, and even entire nations.

My students are a diverse and talented group, each bringing unique perspectives and experiences to the classroom. Their eagerness to learn and passion for understanding the world around them make them truly exceptional. By supporting this project, you are investing in the future leaders, thinkers, and problem solvers who will contribute positively to our global society.

Thank you for considering my request. I am grateful for your support in shaping the future of these remarkable young minds.

Mrs. Zgonc will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by May 27.
