My Project

Please help us refresh our old, outdated materials with new ones! We need new headphones to complete our online programs and to listen to stories online. We need printer ink for printing student assignments and work. We use sticky notes for our book clubs and reading groups to locate reading strategies and thoughts to share with the group. Our bookshelf could really use some new diversified titles. We read silently for 20 minutes a day and the students love reading new titles. A teacher can't have enough Expo markers to teach lessons and to communicate with the students. Your donation will be greatly appreciated by all my students this year and next year.
