My Project

Many things are needed in order for students to achieve success in their learning. Teachers notoriously spend hundreds to thousands of dollars a year to ensure that our kids have everything they need in order to be successful. This year I was switched to being an Academic Intervention Teacher mid year, and am in need of some things to make some magic happen.

Incentives such as gel pens, stickers, and fun erasers help motivate my kids to try their best and practice on their own while at home.

The colored sentence strips and magnets help our learning space organized and inviting. The clock helps us stay on pace and helps us stay focused.

After all of these years of interrupted learning, teachers are working hard to give our students normalcy back. We want our kids to be excited and comfortable when coming to school, and your donations and generosity help us achieve this! Thank you so much!
