My Project

I am teaching in a Title I school in the Heart of Richmond, Virginia. Most of my students came from low income families. I am asking for this specific set because I want my students to end the school year with great success! I am asking for pencils and markers to have better control of their writing by limiting their space and allowing for more accurate writing. I am also asking for laminating pouches to make their reading materials lasts until the next school year. I am asking for colored cards that is designated to be used for printing sight words and for their crafts and activities.

My students' growth in Reading and Math has been so awesome especially when we have materials to use.

I make sure that this project will be of great help for my students to be successful in school!
