My Students

My second graders are voracious readers! They love to read both fiction and nonfiction books. Their favorite characters include Pete the Cat, Fly Guy, Piggie and Elephant, and Mercy Watson. They also love to read about insects, space, and plants. My students are hungry bookworms! They are eager to learn and read about the world around them. My class is made up of general education students, children with special needs, and English as new language students.

My students love to be at school and are like little sponges, absorbing everything around them.

Their parents work long hours and usually do not see their children. The children are usually cared for by their grandparents or a family friend. Most of them do not have someone who speaks English at home. Thus, it is difficult for students to acquire the English language.

Due to financial hardships, my students do not have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities during the school year or summer.

My Project

Distance learning has been challenging for both parents and students. It becomes even more difficult when students do not have the basic supplies at home.

My students need school supplies and educational materials at home so they can continue to learn while not in the school building.

My second graders are some of the hardest workers. My students have made tremendous progress in reading, writing, and math since September. However, my students are running low on school supplies they need to finish the rest of the school year. My students do not have basic school supplies like notebooks, glue sticks, erasers, pencils, tape, scissors, and a stapler at home. My second graders want to do reading, writing and math everyday with me in Google Classroom but the lack of school supplies and books at home make it impossible for them to succeed with distance learning.

Your donations to this project will ensure my students will have the basic supplies they need to be successful with distance learning. This pandemic is hard on everybody, but students in low income homes truly do not have the resources to keep up. Both students and parents will be so appreciative and surprised to get these materials. Please join me in putting a smile on their eager faces!
