My Students

My students are creative, inspiring, and curious little munchkins. They love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! However, due to lack of resources and economic background, many of my parents nor the school are unable to provide the students with the supplies they need to foster a positive, cozy learning environment.

My students are respectful and kind, they are mindful of their actions and respect their peers' opinions.

Many of my students enjoy read alouds, mindful time (coloring after lunch), flexible seating (student choice), and hands-on activities. My class is unique and special and more than anything we would greatly appreciate any donations.

My Project

Students have been using ziplock bags to carry their Just Right Books; however, due to the load of the books, the Ziplock bags would rip and kids would complain that they need a new bag or that they lost a book due to their Ziplock bag. Please help my students with durable reading baggies, that will allow them to comfortably book shop and carry their books to school and back. Our goal is also to recycle baggies every year for future generations to come. We greatly appreciate whatever you can donate to help support our classroom.
