My Project

My students are the best, I love teaching and look forward to seeing my students every day! All of my students receive free breakfast and lunch every day and I would love to provide them with educational games to support and reinforce their learning.

My students look forward to coming to school to learn and see their friends; I am starting to build a reading resource library of games at our school and need your help.

The games that I am requesting will be used in small groups, centers and for tutoring after school this school year and for years to come. They love learning and I know they will really enjoy the ELA Bingo games, the domino games and cards. The laminating pouches will allow me to ensure our resources stay durable without ripping and the paper cutter will assist me in cutting out their activities. The dry erase clipboards will give my students the opportunity to write down their answers and questions while they are learning and the laminating pouches will protect the learning materials. I love watching my students smile, stay motivated and happy while they are learning.

By donating to this project, you would be helping K-5 students. Any amount would be greatly appreciated and my students and I would be extremely thankful. Thank you for taking the time to read about my project and considering a donation!
