My Project

Your help will increase academic achievement in our self-contained 5th-grade class. This year our school district went self-contained to improve the learning environment for students from the impact of COVID-19. Each morning my students come to class ready to learn and eager to try new lessons. With your help, I can provide hands-on STEM kits, essential skill students should be doing in every class. Help my students with social skills and teamwork as well. The book Wonder in this project will enhance my students' empathy while having an excellent literature book to read and class discussions.

Along with the book, the Writing folders will help my students organize writing projects by breaking each step down with each folder flap.

The folder will help my students reach new heights with writing. When it comes to Science, what class would not want a microscope? Students will love to learn their essential standards hands-on, looking at the different cells before they build models themselves. Our school is in a small rural community, and my students deserve the best opportunities to grow and have fun doing it. Thank you for being so supportive.
