My Project

My students come to school eager to learn and ready to grow. To support their learning, I am requesting curriculum resources including a Lakeshore English Language Development Writing Center, some informational posters, engaging student workbooks, and everyday tools like pencils , glue sticks and markers.

Students will use these items for small group learning, independent practice, and hands on learning and reading, writing, and math.

Having differentiated materials and basic tools insures that every student can access the curriculum in a way that meets their needs.

Your support helps create a more organized, well resource-based classroom for kids to feel confident and capable every day.

Thank you for helping build a strong foundation for learning!
