My Project

Help me provide my high-achieving students with the crucial essentials they need to have a fantastic, successful school year! My goal is to provide all the essentials my students need to increase engagement, enjoyment, and collaboration in the classroom.

With you help, my students will have access to basic equipment and supplies such as a big whiteboard for small group instruction (to reteach necessary skills and/or challenge my students) ; individual whiteboards to practice handwriting, develop math skills, and check for understanding; PE supplies to exercise in the yard and build social skills; a staple to organize materials and display students' work; copy paper to print homework and differentiated classwork; glue sticks and scissors to work on class projects; and notebooks to record science investigation notes, take notes during reading time, and solve math problems using different math strategies.

These materials will greatly increase student engagement and collaboration!

Please help my students have the essentials they need to stay engaged throughout the learning process. I deeply appreciate your help and generosity.
