A platform like Donors Choose is as impactful as it is because of supporters like you. I have always dreamed of being a teacher and as a little girl I never imagined funding my classroom would be a challenge I encounter. But with your generosity and support I am able to continue to live out my dream as an educator. Last school year my school was closed due to mold. We were relocated for the reminder of the school year. Thankfully we were moved back into our original classroom at the start of the school year, but my current classroom is small and unable to hold the white easel board. I spoke to my principal and was told I will be getting a bigger classroom next year. When that happens I can not wait to use my white easel board! I look forward to using it to hang/display current anchor charts we are using during our mini lesson. I most excitingly can not wait to have the flexibility of rolling it over from my classroom rug to my kidney table to use it during my small group lessons! I truly can not wait! Until then, please know that I have made sure that my white easel is stored safely.
