Funded Dec 1, 2020Although my students couldn't physically see and touch the impact of your generosity, they have definitely felt it! I have too! I want to say thank you for your generous donations. As a second year, first-time homeroom teacher, the idea of having my own class was terrifying and exhilarating! I have worked so hard in school (and am still working hard) to have my own classroom to influence, inspire and educate. With your donations for my project, I was able to ensure my students' readiness to learn and success from day one.
While some schools in my area (Philadelphia, PA) have started to return to in-person instruction, I will still be teaching virtually. I have included some photos of my home-classroom that I've been teaching from since the beginning of 2021.
My students come to my zoom room excited for the day because they have everything they need to be great for the day. Even if they are missing something, they know they have a resourceful teacher who will make sure to get them what they need!
I am happy and proud to say that my students came to me in August, struggling to read and write, and now with only a few months left, I have students in the 3rd grade reading and writing on a 4th grade level!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Williams
