My Students

I have such a wonderful group of little learners in my class! They are happy to be at school, eager to help out in any way, and always full of fun.

I feel that our elementary students get along very well together and I love their natural love for learning.

They genuinely care for one another and are always willing to lend a hand to someone else whenever they get the chance.

My Project

I would love to have a Coil Binding Machine for classroom use.

I would use this machine for so many things!

I love to help my class make calendars for gifts as well as classroom books--they love to see their hard work and writing in book form. I also like to send home a memory book at the end of the school year and have always wanted to bind the books in a more permanent and professional way than I am doing currently.

I would really love any support you can give me on this project! Thank you so much!
