My Project

By fulfilling this list, our students will be able to have the basic necessities they need to be successful in class including whiteboard markers, boards with lines to practice their handwriting, and towelette wipes to make sure our boards are cleaned daily. We use our whiteboards daily during UFLI instruction as well as during whole group math instruction.

Additionally, we have added clickers to our list to better assist our teaching team.

With clickers, we can have a smoother and more efficient UFLI lesson by limiting the amount of time between transitions. We also added screen/device cleaners with one per classroom. Our students use the ViewSonic daily, and you can imagine how dirty it gets when many fingers and hands are touching it.

School classrooms are supplied by teachers, funded by teachers, and decorated by teachers. However, it is difficult to keep up with the financial cost it takes to supply classrooms with 25 to 26 students each.

Any donation is gratefully appreciated! It takes a village to teach, and we could not do it alone. Thank you.
