  • Good Reads for Growing Minds!

    Funded Mar 6, 2020

    Thank you for your generosity! Literacy is an important part of my daily classroom routine, as is supporting the social-emotional needs of my students. Your generosity will help me pair these needs with the social-emotional books we are purchasing! Students also need to have fun - so the remainder of the books will help us have fun while we listen to silly stories such as ‘Dragons Love Tacos!’”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Eli

    This classroom project was brought to life by A group of anonymous donors and 3 other donors.

  • Functional Financial Literacy!

    Funded Mar 2, 2020

    Thank you! My students are successful with the use of hands-on, age appropriate manipulatives - unfortunately we often don’t have the supplies we need to support their learning. Your support is helping make our needs a reality! Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will be put to good use for years to come.”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Eli

  • Portable Play in Pre-K!

    Funded Feb 28, 2020

    Thank you so much for your generous support! With your support I will receive the items my students need to address their varying sensory needs! We incorporate sensory activities into our daily routines as an outlet for our students to participate in activities that calm and/or relax them. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Eli

If students aren't having fun they aren't learning! I strive to make EACH day fun while also fostering independence, curiosity and initiative in learning. As a special education teacher whose students come from diverse backgrounds achieving these goals is equally challenging and rewarding. I challenge my students daily with high expectations and provide them with opportunities to learn in ways that best meet their individual needs. We are often lacking the resources to introduce new and fun learning activities that will provide challenging and rewarding learning experiences - your support can help us add these new resources!
