My Students

I treat my students as if they are scholars. It is my hope that when they leave my classroom they will learn the importance of doing good for others. I teach my students to strive for excellence and to achieve nothing less. In order to be all of these things, they need an organized environment.

With a pencil sharpener and group storage bins, my students will be able to take pride in learning how to be organized.

Research shows that students need to be taught organizational skills in order to be successful. I also want to teach my students that they need to have pride in where they work and to learn how to keep their classroom clean and organized.

My Project

Once my students receive their pencil sharpener and the storage bins, they will be able to do more writing as they will have sharper pencils. Also it will eliminate the amount of time students will be getting up and down from their seats. With the store bins, it will allow them to keep their writing materials organized.

With your donation, my students will learn the importance of paying it forward.

They will begin to learn that helping others is the key to helping make the world go 'round. Again thank you for considering donating to our project!
