Kids Are Our Future!

Help me give my students the support they need to grow. Many of my students are ELLs and need some extra hands on materials to support them in their learning journey.

My Project

My students are so special and at this young age love to learn! When they are given the right resources these children will be able make huge jumps. Children need hands on materials to learn and if they have the materials they will be able learn how to love learning. Learning should be fun and children should love to come to school. I hope that I am able to give my students every opportunity to make that happen. I work with some pretty amazing kids and I want to provide them with everything I can to help them succeed.
