I teach in a 12:1:1 self-contained kindergarten- second grade classroom. I have students with a wide range of different learning styles in my classroom. Most of my students are currently below grade level. I have a great group of students who really love learning, but we do not have adequate resources in the classroom to expand that growth to its fullest potential. However, through donorschoose.org, I am not only grateful, but extremely thankful to the donors who give to my projects and help my students throughout the school year!
