Basic Supplies for Anything but a Basic School Year
Help me give my students the ability to be engaged with chart paper for creating fabulous anchor charts, as well as basic classroom supplies to get this challenging year off to a smooth start.
I teach in a very diverse area in Queens at a Title I school. In my school district, students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I try to provide creative and meaningful learning experiences and opportunities for my students. I try to plan engaging lessons that will help them succeed and decrease the academic gap. I believe my students should have the same opportunities available to them as those who live in more affluent areas of NY. My students need to have up to date and interesting resources available to them. Not all students are able to afford basic supplies and some are definitely not able to pay for extra resources to enhance learning. I would like to provide my students with multiple opportunities to succeed, including technology and magazines that enhance learning. By triggering a love for learning and a curiosity about the world around them and how hey can improve it, I believe that together, we can help make a successful future generation.
My Project
My students have braved the challenges that this school year faces by coming into the building for blended learning. While some did have the basic supplies for writing and working on projects, economic hardships made it difficult for many to meet the requirements of bringing in the basic school supplies they usually bring. Although I have supplied some of the necessities like paper, crayons and markers, we are still in need of many essential classroom supplies to make this challenging year start out smoothly.
Basic supplies basically necessary for a successful school year.
Please help us get the tools we need to make this year less challenging.
