My Project

I teach third grade at a diverse Title I school in southwest Florida. Our students come from numerous cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and are wonderful workers and learners! One year ago, our community was hit hard by Hurricane Ian, but this has only made us stronger!

For this project, I am requesting some comfortable stools for my small group table.

I am also requesting non-perishable snacks such as pretzels, crackers, and fruit snacks.

Squeezing 6 chairs around a table is sometimes a challenge. These stools will be a great addition to my classroom and will give my students a comfortable place to sit when we work in small groups.

I want to provide my students with healthy snacks so they have the energy they need to complete their work each and every school day. By furnishing a variety of snacks for those students who do not bring one from home, all of my students will be able to enjoy a snack. I also hope that showing examples of healthy snacks will encourage those students who do bring a snack from home to bring healthier items.

Thank you for helping my students have a healthy and comfortable school day!
