My Project

New year, fresh start! This my second year teaching reading intervention in a Title 1 Middle School. To kick off the year in a positive manner, I am asking for basic essentials for our every day learning.

My students and I are asking for cleaning supplies to help keep down the germs and have less of a sick free year.

We are also asking for a new cork board so that we can display our work that we will be completing throughout the school year. I am asking for a lamination machine to hang posters around the room without the wear and tear on them.

By having these items available to my students and myself, it will make our year run smoothly. These students should be able to be in a nice, clean environment all year long, and with the help from the donors, I am confident that this can happen for these wonderful students.

Ms. D
Grades 6-8
