  • To Write Or Not To Write, That Is The Question?

    Funded Nov 25, 2018

    Thank you donors very much for your kind donations. My students and I are extremely grateful for your generosity. I immediately set up the writing tools that we received. Our new supplies will help the students practice their handwriting, spelling, multi-sensory grammar and composition writing. With these basic necessities, students will be able to follow the lessons more efficiently. This will all be possible thanks to you.

    The dry erase boards with their markers, multi-color highlighters, colored pencils, tri-write pencils, and affixes cards that this project included will not only help us this year and with this group of students, but will be a part of our classroom for next year as well. Please know that by making this project possible, you will be impacting many students.

    Once again, thank you very much for your donations from my students and I.

    May many blessings come your way, and thank you for caring and for giving. We hope that you keep us in mind in your future donations.”

My students range in age from 1st to 5th Grade and face the challenge of being Dyslexic. They come from families with very low socioeconomic statuses, that focus their attention on providing adequate housing, food and clothing for their children. My boys and girls are beautiful children that, although having a learning disability, try to learn while maintaining a positive attitude. Unfortunately, my campus is one of the first schools built in our district and it is located in a low socioeconomic neighborhood. Since our school district is so big, they can't always provide materials or new technology to all of the schools. Sometimes it is up to us teachers to find the means to reach our students to deliver the best possible education.
