My Project

My project goal is to acquire new materials to use with my third-grade students. This donation would improve the quality of our reading and math small groups for my students. Small group time is used to help students who are struggling and enrich students who need that extra challenge.

Small group instruction allows for my students with diverse needs to get differentiated instruction in a small group setting, which provides them with targeted instruction to meet their specific needs in a way that benefits them!

We are also in need of a privacy folders to help my students focus on their weekly assessments with minimal distractions. In addition, we are in need of a document camera to project activities being completed on paper onto our back promethean board as well as lap desks to provide students with a workspace while sitting on the floor during their small group instruction!

Please consider donating to my project. We thank you in advance!
