Efficient Education

My students need general school supplies so we can work as efficiently as possible.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brown's classroom raised $233

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students have a lot of catching up to do. The last think I want delaying our progress is supplies!

My students are resilient, intelligent, and energetic 7th graders from Boston.

Our students are happy to come to school each day and we work really hard to make it a positive learning experience. Many of them struggle to buy all of the necessary materials for each class and I do not want this to delay their learning.

My Project

I have requested several items that will make our class much more efficient and functional. We need a paper trimmer so I am able to quickly trim handouts for their interactive notebooks. We need extra tape so students can make sure all necessary materials are taped into their notebook. We need colorful construction paper and scissors to work on fun projects at the end of each unit.

We have a lot of work to do this year.

I want to make sure my students have everything they need right in class, so there are no excuses and we can keep learning and growing at an efficient pace.
