This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Medley from Decatur, GA is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Free Time Means Friend Time

Help me give my students to be able to socialize with their friends while they have free time. They like to play with each other and these things (Magna-Tiles, Thomas the Train and Friends set, and other resources) will give them what they need to play nicely.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am new to teaching but I am not new to these students. I have been a substitute for each of these students and they have always been welcoming and warm. Since they have always shown me love, I want to get them new blocks to form new adventures. All of the kids love trains and the trains we get will be used in lessons about social issues. The wipes will be used to ensure they are clean. The headphones are especially important to me because one of the students is sensitive to sound and with these headphones he will be able to concentrate on socializing with friends. Everything will be used each day by the students in my class.
