My Project

We're embarking on an exciting academic journey with our second-grade students in our new project-based learning school. However, we're facing a crucial challenge – we don't have sufficient funding to provide them with class sets of dictionaries. That's where you come in!

Dictionaries aren't just books; they're keys to a world of language and knowledge.

In our project-based learning environment, dictionaries play a vital role. They empower our second graders with independence, enabling them to explore words, understand meanings, and apply them to project-based tasks. This self-sufficiency nurtures curiosity and ownership in their learning journey, skills that are fundamental to project-based education. Moreover, dictionaries enhance vocabulary growth critical thinking, and offer a balance to technology reliance. They become lifelong companions, supporting academic success and instilling a love for language and learning that extends far beyond the classroom.

By supporting our DonorsChoose project, you're providing more than dictionaries; you're opening doors to a world of words tailored to our project-based learning approach. Your generosity helps build a solid academic foundation, fosters independent learners, and ignites a lifelong passion for language within the context of their projects. Join us in empowering these young students, ensuring they have the tools to excel academically, engage deeply in their projects, and become lifelong learners. Thank you for being an essential part of our educational community!
