  • Second Grade Snacks for Success!

    Funded Oct 11, 2023

    I am so very thankful that my Snacks for Success project was funded! Again thank you so much! My students and various students throughout the school are so very appreciative! It is so imperative that students have a breakfast to start their school day off right.

    Working in an Urban school district, that's 100% Free and Reduced Lunch, a large number of students come to school hungry due to various unfortunate circumstances. As adults we know it's impossible to focus and give 100% if we haven't had any nourishment, that "Hangry" Snicker commercial is exaggerated, but it definitely sums up what happens if you don't eat.

    The students were so excited to see all the snacks that were gifted to them in order for them to have successful school days. I can see the difference in certain students now that they know that all they have to worry about now is just getting to school on time.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Byrd

  • Second Grade "Dictionary Skills"

    Funded Jan 20, 2023

    I am so very thankful that my dictionary project was funded! Again thank you so much. Dictionary skills are a standard that is required for Missouri second graders. Having access and the right amount so that each student has their own to use for assignments, has been one of the most beneficial aides added to my classroom to help successfully equip my students with the necessary to tools to succeed in life.

    Even though we are a technology based charter, I feel it is still a critical skill that must be learned and retained from now until. Not to mention that it is a required skill for second grade. I constantly enforce the importance of text book referencing due to technology not always functioning properly. There could be a blackout in areas, your home internet service may have been disconnected, you may not be fortunate enough to even have access to internet service, a laptop or a home computer may be in disposal at the time you need it, if any of these occur, you most definitely will need to know how to properly use a dictionary to complete English or any writing assignments for correct grammar use and spelling.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Byrd
