My Project

In the reading room, with two reading teachers, we service over 60 students a day! A lot of materials, games and activities we make ourselves so we can teach exactly to what the child needs based on their assessments !

The laminate and laminator will be used to create fun games, projects and different activities for students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade.

We hope to get this project funded to be able to support our students needs in fun creative ways! Thank you for your donations, consideration and support with our busy reading room!
