Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a first year kindergarten teacher, it is my daily desire to provide every tool possible to be successful in my classroom. My students deserve to be supported with these resources because they come to school everyday, ready to learn and they are hungry for the knowledge. Their brains are like little sponges, ready to soak up everything they can at school. Because of their desire to learn and my desire to pour into them, I am pleading for your support by donating the resources I've chosen.

I want to unlock the potential of my students by providing them with the reading and writing tools they need to thrive.

Literacy is the key to success so equipping them with the right resources is paramount. Using phonics based resources will empower my students to strengthen their reading and writing skills, enhance comprehension, and foster a lifelong love for reading. With these resources, I can ensure that every student has the opportunity to become proficient and confident readers. With your support, we can create a vibrant learning environment where each child has access to engaging books, interactive writing materials and innovative literacy tools. Your donations with transform our classroom into a dynamic space where my students can explore the magic of storytelling, express their thoughts through writing and develop essential literacy skills that will shape their academic journey.

By investing in our kindergarten reading and writing project, you're not just giving books and supplies, you're opening a world of opportunities for my students. With your support, we an ignite a passion for reading and writing that will empower these young minds to succeed in school and beyond. Thank you for your generosity and belief in the power of literacy to change lives.
