My Students

I teach fourth and fifth grade reading in one of the best rural schools in Oklahoma. My students are a diverse group with varied levels of learning. Our classroom is a space where students enjoy coming to learn. We are a Title I school with the majority of our students receiving free lunch.

These students have huge hearts and love to learn in non-traditional ways, such as room transformations, integrating the arts into our lessons, and project-based learning.

My students have curiosity, creativity, compassion, and positive attitudes. They are truly amazing people. My school is wonderfully supportive of the active hands-on learning that we do in our classroom. I couldn't ask for a better learning environment for these students. We are truly a community!

My Project

These supplies are basic necessities that my students need to help them be successful. Over 160 students are served in my classroom every day. Being a reading lab room, we do not receive basic school supplies at the beginning of the year as regular classrooms do. But, we sure do use a lot of supplies in our learning projects! By providing some basics for students and for the classroom I will be making sure they can focus on academics and not on the items they do not have.

When we have the basics, we are able to offer even more engaging lessons and a variety of different opportunities for individualized learning.

We plan to use the alarm clock as we move from group to group activities, keeping us on time. We will use the dry erase markers and dry erase pockets during our small group learning, helping us save paper and make fewer copies. We will use foam dice during the many learning games we play each day. The laminating pouches will help keep our supplies in great condition.

We appreciate your support in providing these needed basic supplies in our Title 1 reading classroom!
