My students need pencils, lead and erasers. My students need a hole puncher to store all of their work and a stapler to attach their current events to their summaries.
My students always look forward to coming to school but they do not always come with the proper supplies that every student needs to be successful. I want my students to leave my class feeling filled with knowledge about world history. I tell them to never, never, never give up on their dream
My students are all unique in their own ways and they all have great strengths.
We are a title one school who have been faced with many budget cuts in a low income area. I want to be able to provide them with whatever they need to be successful in class because they are all so bright and they have the drive and urge to learn. They all love to talk. I love to hear what they have to say, especially when it is about social studies and it has been a topic that we have discussed. That is when I truly know they are learning the material instead of just memorizing it.
My Project
Again we have been faced with a lot of budget cuts. Our school does not have lockers and all of the students have one binder for all of their classes. A lot of paper is used and stored in those binders. There in lies the need for a hole puncher and a stapler. I also have countless students come to me during the day that need pencils, lead, and erasers and I always provide, but I am running low on these materials. Tape and posters would be used to better decorate my class and also hang projects that the students create. We have been participating in a lot of project based learning which has proved to be very successful with our 7th graders and I would love to continue that.
These donations will help me to provide my students with the materials they need to be successful in my class as well as in school.
I do not want them to worry about coming to school without a pencil or paper if they do not have the money for those items. I want to put their minds at ease and I want them to enjoy coming to school and I want them to want to learn.
