  This project will help me give my students a connection in this time of many unknowns. A wonderful way to celebrate milestones is by giving our students a copy of Dr. Seuss "Oh the places you'll go." 5th grade is a critical year and we should celebrate our students accomplishments.

  This holiday season project brought joy to my 60 students. During the holiday season I like to celebrate with my students. The students I serve come from low income families and not sure if they will have a gifts or a tree at home. With this project I was able to send them home with a gift bag full of gifts. We had Kool-Aid juices and cookies to have a holiday party. The gift bag was full of party favors, bubble wands, party bracelets and a mechanical pencil. It was a small token I wanted to share with my students.”

• Back to School Ready...

  Funded Oct 1, 2018

  When is time to come back parents and students get anxiety about coming back to school. Students are nervous to meet their teachers and parents are worried about money. With donorschoose I like help reduce some of the stress. By making sure when students come back we have the basics. We use expo markers, glue, pencils and mechanical pencils daily. I use the mechanical pencils as a reward system, when students follow directions. The pencils and glue we use to add our notes in our Math Journal. The best way to teach math is during small group.”
