My Project

My students have all been identified as gifted through screenings and IQ testing by our district psychometrist. They attend my classes in groups of 5-7 with their grade-level peers.

They exceed on State Tests and enjoy learning.

They work very hard, and I would love to see them reach their potential.

One of the state gifted components for my students is "creativity" and I need these basic classroom supplies to supplement this requirement in my classroom.

The materials requested in this project will create a teacher-style workspace for my students and will add to our existing art supplies. I am requesting a broom/dustpan set and storage baskets so I can teach students to take care of their classroom learning space. I am also asking things like for brushes, markers, pens, staples so my students can create art.
