Help me give my students basic school supplies to start off the new school year.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. LeFever's classroom raised $306
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My students have special needs and special abilities. They come from a community where they all receive free lunch and breakfast. Some can barely afford school supplies. With children who are two to three grade levels behind, I'm left to get them to a point of growth. Supplying my students with classroom resources will give them the hope they need to realize that success is at their fingertips.
All students have a promising future, but that future needs to be ignited by their inner potential.
I want to set my students up for success, and that setup involves getting them the resources. They need to be challenged and pushed to the next level. Each student is different, but sometimes we can expect them to fall into a cookie cutter mold that is far beyond realistic. As any passionate teacher would, I want the best for my students.
My Project
Nothing says "Back to school" like school supplies. Many of the students in our school community do not have the proper resources to participate in classroom activities. Items like notebooks, pencils, and folders are essential in any classroom. Without the resources to engage in math, reading, social studies and science students are at a disadvantage. Having these basic items makes it possible for students to be prepared at all times of the learning day.
Not every family has the financial means to provide their child with the necessary school supplies, and a lack of resources makes it difficult for students to be engaged and stay on track with the curriculum.
When we give students what they need to succeed, the responsibility of performing is now placed on them. I can vividly remember students doing assignments two or three times because they didn't have a notebook and eventually would lose the paper they originally wrote it on.
There's nothing like the basics to get your through an educational year!
