My Students

Help me send care packages to my students during this difficult time. These items include books, food, hygiene products, toys, games, social-emotional calming fidgets, and basic school supplies.

My students have been learning via remote learning for 6 weeks, without the appropriate materials and supplies.

The majority of my students come from poverty and are low income families. They do not have access the technology, learning materials, hygiene items and snacks.

The materials that we are requesting will be used daily. These materials are important because they will help us easily access all learners in our classroom. These materials will be used at-home to continue students' learning and to demonstrate lessons.

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning because it will allow them to stay engaged and motivated while they are learning at home.

Thank you SO much for supporting our classroom!

My Project

These materials will be sent to my students in care packages throughout the rest of the school year.

They love receiving mail and being able to communicate with their teacher during this difficult time.

They really look forward to hearing from me and staying in touch with their classmates. This project will allow them to remain in touch through journaling and being pen pals with each other. This will help them to become better writers. During writing workshop, it will also allow students to send their work to one another to receive feedback from their peers.

Some items that will be sent include snacks, books, hygiene products, toys, games, and basic school supplies.

My students will be able to use their items to show and explore their creativity. These items will be able to help my students academically in all subject areas, as well as support their social emotional health. These items will also help my students with various STEAM projects that they really enjoy.

Thank you SO much for supporting our classroom!
