Help me give my students reusable class water bottles, a doormat and a wireless doorbell to assist in building our classroom community for the upcoming school year.
I have the great pleasure of teaching 24 Kindergarten students who are eager to learn and explore the world around them. Some of these students include special needs students as well as English Language Learners. However, my students come from many different backgrounds, which sometimes makes it difficult for students to be exposed to grade-level content at home. Students come from homes that are unable to provide basic supplies, not to mention school supplies. Some of my students may even experience being homeless during the school year.
I teach in a Title I school and 65% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
My students are very grateful for your support!
My Project
A community is a setting made up of individuals who come together for a common purpose. Members should feel welcome, that they have a connection to others, and that they are valued. Schools and classrooms are where children spend a significant amount of time each week, and teachers have an opportunity to help their students make the most of that time together by developing a classroom community each day.
The benefits students realize from being a member of their classroom community are plentiful, and include increased trust to take academic risks, decreased behavior issues, and a feeling of ownership of their environment and learning.
This project would help supply not only classroom water bottles to my early learners, but a sense of community where students feel welcome and valued. A classroom rug and doorbell would welcome students into the classroom each day. These traits will assist them in starting their academic journey feeling valued and supported.
