Help Me Meet the Needs of My Students

Help me give my students what they need on a daily basis, like assorted snack, building blocks, and LEGOs. They do try so hard to be successful in all that they do and as their teacher, this would help tremendously. Thank you.

My Project

I elected to call this Project "Rising Forth" given that my students come to school everyday pressing forth in order to learn what they need to learn for the purpose of succeeding in their education and to move on successfully on their path to "Fourth Grade"!

That said, these materials which I am requesting, will help them tremendously from day to day, in so much that the specific skills that my students will gain by engaging with these items are skills related to teamwork and socialization, which encompass abilities such as communication, active listening, collaboration, conflict resolution, empathy, adaptability, and building rapport, which in turn are all essential for effective interpersonal interactions and successful teamwork.

Another vital goal of this project is to support and meet the unique SEL and nutritional needs of my students on a daily basis. With that stated, I thank you in advance for helping to support my wonderful students as they continue on their journey throughout their educational path to success! Take care.

Respectfully,

Ms. Vivian Ryals
