Mrs. Carlisle from Montgomery AL is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

A Lesson That Counts!

Help me give my students access to the world outside our classroom walls. I want to teach my students about different issues happening around them, so they can gain different perspectives and acknowledge other people’s points of views.

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 Students

Student life is the best part about life. Students have the opportunity to learn and grow in an environment that is safe and suitable for learning. The students in my class strive for excellence. They all inherently care about one another and continually make an effort to improve in all aspects.

My Project

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom, especially in math. I believe that each student can grow significantly by having their own materials to use daily and as a team. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. I strongly believe that all students want to learn, and no student should be hindered from learning because of their personal environment, especially at home. I want to be able to provide my students with the basic essential items needed in the classroom to focus, remain safe, and encourage learning.
