My Project

Our third graders love to learn, and getting them excited about learning is one of the best parts of the job. The items included in this project will help our students connect to the content knowledge they are exposed to through our new ELA curriculum, CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts). The selected books will help our students connect to the concepts we are exploring in new and exciting ways. In addition, the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will allow me to provide supplemental materials that create an engaging classroom environment related to our topics of study.

With your help, we can provide our students with knowledge and new experiences that expand upon and invigorate their learning.
