My Project

I teach a class of multicultural fifth graders that are a mixture of ELD, Special Needs, and Gifted students. They are eager students who are ready to learn and try their best. We have been working so hard in our class and didn't realize there are things we need to finish up the year. Please give my students what we need to finish up the year.

All of these materials add up financially for a person on a teacher salary so therefore I am in need of desperate assistance to put all of this in place prior.

These things aren't text books or writing material, these are things that people don't think of when thinking about school supplies. We need binders, labels, pencils, sticky notes, and markers. Year after year it's harder to spend more and more money out of pocket to create the best learning environment for my students, especially now that the cost of living has gone up.

Please help us out by providing some of the necessities we need in our classroom. Your support will greatly be appreciated.
