My students need the materials like anchor chart paper and markers to create anchor charts for them to refer back to during their learning.

My Students
Although our school is one of the biggest in our district, we have a family feeling to it that visitors notice when they walk through the front doors. We have a total of 7 second grade classes. With a school this big, our population is extremely diverse. Our school is located along the coastline in a small, rural town. We have very low economic families in our community. But these children are always eager to learn and ready to over come obstacles. I want to help these children go even further and really push themselves. Your donations will make that dream possible for my classroom.
My Project
Research states that over 70% of students in today's classrooms are visual learners. Anchor charts are visual scaffolds. They are displayed in classroom learning communities to anchor student thinking while offering a source of visual reference for continued support as the learner moves forward. Classrooms with rich anchor chart support leave little doubt about what a student is expected to learn and offer a “public trail” of thinking, a collection of learning. Debbie Miller, in her book, Teaching with Intention, states “In our anchor classroom, evidence of student thinking was everywhere; anchor charts, student responses, and quotes adorned the walls and boards making thinking public and permanent. The questions, quotes, ideas, and big understandings displayed throughout the room reflected the real voices of real kids.”
Our class anchor charts help to "anchor" their learning on a particular skill.
These charts are referred back to by the students many times throughout the course of a school year. I am always excited to hear my students say, "Look at the chart we made to help you!" My students are hard working and deserve the very best! You have the power to help them be better students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
