Help me give my students their own assortment of books, fiction, and nonfiction, to have at their fingertips as they learn remotely and, also, tools that would allow them to write about so much!

My Students

I am a kindergarten teacher in a Title I community school.

My classroom is often their first time in school, but now my virtual classroom is their first!

I still want them to feel an excitement for learning! To help me do this I need your help. My students need supplies within their reach, just as if they were in a classroom.

My Project

My class is totally remote and they need these supplies to help them grow academically. As stated in my intro, most of these families are at the poverty level and do not have the means to help with the supplies I am seeking. Although I have supplied them at home with a book or two, it is definitely not enough. With your donation, I can give my students ample books to read at their fingertips, and providing them with the writing tools they need will both encourage and enhance their creativity as writers and readers!

Three months into the school year and they are hungry for more!

I love their excitement and enthusiasm and I want to be able to give them more! Please help me provide for them. They are the sweetest bunch of budding learners wanting to grow!
