My Project

One group of 25 students could not be more unique! At LFCPS, our third graders are at that unique age where their desire to learn is sky-high. Their curiosity and excitement to learn new things keeps them going each day. In third grade, we love to incorporate art into our regular curriculum. Our go-to art supply is always watercolors. To help us continue using art to enhance our learning, we need more water-color paper! We also love to give our kids alternative seating to help them learn best! The bench seats requested are to replace some seats that have fallen apart this year.

I recognize that it is my job as their teacher to give my students the tools they need with the acceptance and understanding that they all have the potential to meet great heights in learning, but that their journeys will all be so very different in doing so.

As their mentor, I want to give them every opportunity possible to feed their need for knowledge and learning.
