Things to Help Us Learn!

Help me give my students book boxes to organize their books. I would love to give them more opportunities to practice writing and math with white boards and markers. Headphones help them listen to reading!

My Project

It takes so many resources to help kiddos learn and grow everyday! Having working headphones will help my students listen to books and help them fall in love more with reading. Being able to practice writing and math on whiteboards helps them make mistakes and be ok with it because they can learn from those mistakes. We are working on growing our classroom library and we need more book bins to help organize our books so they are easily accessible for my young readers.

Your donation will directly support 20 enthusiastic First Graders in building foundational skills.

These resources will not only enhance their classroom learning but also empower them to become confident, lifelong learners.

Any support will be appreciated.
