My Students

Our school is a true neighborhood school! Most of our students walk to and from school each day. Our school feels like a huge family helping each other through the challenges that we face.

The majority of students in the school are eligible for free or reduced-priced meals.

We are in need of supplies to enrich their educational experience and nourish their enthusiasm for learning. Our 4th grade class is full of students that will be truly appreciative of your generosity.

My Project

My students need these materials so that they can participate in meaningful math and language arts workstations. Workstations are often opportunities for students to independently practice previously learned skills. Without the help of an adult, students can sometimes worry if their answers are correct or not. These pens and cards will provide students with immediate feedback as they practice these important skills. These pens will also provide students of varying academic abilities the opportunity to practice skills at the most appropriate level for them. These materials will certainly be engaging for the students and provide differentiated practice for all of the students in our class.
