Basic Math Supplies

Help me give my students a great start to the school year by helping them with math binders and rulers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Terry's classroom raised $774

My Students

The best way to describe the students I teach are resilient dedicated learners. I describe them this way because they all live in an urban school district and almost all of them come from either low-income or poverty neighborhoods, along with either seen or experienced trauma in their lives. Even though their home life is difficult, they come to school each day with a smile on their face and the motivation to do their best. I am amazed at how they can concentrate on learning when they have many problems at home or in their neighborhoods. They are excited to study and learn in hopes of being the first child in their families to go to college and make a better life for their families.

I want equity in my classroom.

Since my school is 100% free lunch, most of my students do not have money for basic school supplies. With this donation, I will be able to supply them with items their neighboring suburban 8th-grade students use in their Algebra classroom.

My Project

These binders will help my student be prepared for math class. The binders will hold their personal pencil pouch with many supplies. The rulers will allow me to give each student a 6” ruler they can use in Algebra class when graphing linear equations. Many of my students live in poverty and supporting my students will help them feel at ease and not have to worry about where they will find the money for their math class. It will also allow my students to take notes in class, increase engagement and motivation.
