My Project

The students at Sullivan Middle School in Worcester, Massachusetts are bright, curious and dynamic learners. Materials like binders, pencils, paper, desk bands, markers etc., will not only enhance each student’s ability to access the general curriculum and improve problem solving skills, but they will also allow the application of learned strategies in an effort to develop a life-long, independent learners.

By the end of our time together, it is my hope that the students are resourceful, mindful and fluent readers.

Your donation will not only help with the day-to-day functions of my classroom for the duration of the year, but it will also assist in teaching literacy to the whole-child.
