My Students
What do you remember about middle school? What will you help 70 brilliant and hard working scholars remember?
We are the class of 2019 (the year we will graduate from college). We are at a high poverty middle school in NY, and we are looking for some basic writing supplies from a donor like you!
As a third year teacher in a young school, I quickly discovered that students are brilliant, yet many of my scholars are performing below grade level.
The area where they struggle the most is writing, and in grade 8 this is heavily assessed by the state.
My Project
My scholars work so hard and are on track to make 2 years of writing growth this year due to all of their extra work! We need these supplies to continue to take the steps to reach our goals. With our new hanging file folders, we will be able to organize our writing throughout the steps of the writing process! We can use the time tracker to prepare for the on-demand writing on our state exam. We'll be able to keep our pencils sharpened and will never be out of paper again with this supply. The hole puncher will allow us to put our typed pieces into our published work binders, so that we can share them with pride. These materials will give my scholars an opportunity to not only achieve their goals, but develop a lifelong passion for writing.
My scholars know that writing is important because it helps them learn to be better readers, critical thinkers, and people.
They have written about their desire to find a cure for cancer and AIDS, to be authors and engineers, forensic anthropologists, lawyers, and humanitarians. They know that none of this will be possible for them unless they learn to become independent writers and thinkers. Please help them take the next step towards achieving their goals!
