My Project

Hi! I'm Melissa and I teach at a middle school in Corona, Queens. I have a 12:1:1 class filled with amazing students! The students are at various levels of learning and require many different modifications for their daily work.

Printing worksheets for my students is of the utmost importance and I currently do not have a classroom printer to use.

Having a printer in my room will give me the flexibility needed to print things as I need them. I also would like to incorporate daily independent reading. The chair organizers would help tremendously. Math manipulatives will help my students with life skills to utilize outside of the classroom.

Please help me gain the necessary materials for my classroom. Thank you!

Ms. Melissa Riverview PS 277Q @311 Grades 6-8
