My Students

I work with kindergarten students at a Title I school. They are incredibly intelligent, resilient, and loving. I know I can count on them each day to see the best in the world and bring a smile to my face. No matter the subject, they never fail to find creative solutions and tackle new challenges. They deserve so much more than I am able to give them so I am hoping with a little help I can give them the classroom they deserve!

My Project

Now that I am a few weeks into the school year, I have realized I am missing a lot of things that are necessary for everyday lessons. Unfortunately, my school is unable to provide a lot of these items. With your help, I can help students get the basic supplies they need.

We are in need of scissors, a pencil sharpener, some organizational supplies, a classroom timer, and other basic classroom necessities.

I have also put a few items on the list for students with special needs, such as whisper phones, balance stability disks, and pencil grips. We would really appreciate any help you can give!
