My Project

I am new to teaching middle school and would greatly appreciate these donations. I need dry-erase markers, boards, and erasers to actively engage my students in their learning! I want to make world geography fun by playing quick games and reviews. We use the Chromebooks too much, and I want to spend more time face-to-face learning! The stickers and candy will be used to incentivize their learning.

I have started to bring in real furniture into my classroom and would love to add these chairs and lamps to bring in a more cozy feel.

Creating spaces where students feel comfortable is essential for middle schoolers. The book covers will help me keep my textbooks from being ripped. We have one set of 35 books for 6 classes to use. The students try to be careful, but they are getting worn out. I teach world geography to 6th graders and want to make a great environment for students to thrive in!
