My Project

I work at a Title I public school, which means that necessities are not always something my students have access to. As I prepare for a new year of learning, these are all supplies we use daily. With your help, I am hoping to fund my classroom with materials so that a child doesn't need to worry about not having the right things to be a successful learner.

The headphones we received last year were a game-changer!

We use our computers for so many activities during whole group instruction, and also small group independent time. Headphones make it so stories can be read aloud, test questions in math will be heard, and even when watching a science video independently, they can hear it.

New folders, paper, notebooks, pencils, tissues, and erasers are things that need to be purchased every year, and I am looking forward to any support I can get to purchase them. I fund so much of my classroom on my dime and truly appreciate any way to alleviate that financial burden.
