My Students
My school encourages students to be lifelong learners through exposure to different disciplines and cross-curricular endeavors. I teach ~75 eighth grade students every year to be curious about the world around them and apply their learning to out-of-classroom and in-class experiences. Our class is a community of thinkers, doers, and encouragers.
The shared vision we have for the classroom is one of a warm and welcoming community where love and learning is centered.
Of the ~75 students I have, each carries with them a different set of identities and backgrounds. Because of this, each thrives in different environments, and my job as their learning facilitator has necessitated re-arranging, making alternative seating options available every day, adapting new practices, and adjusting traditional ideas of what a classroom looks like to better support my students.
My Project
Because of COVID-19, my students’ learning environment over the past two years has shifted to include outside influences that would normally be minimized. The impact of this shift has resulted in a change in how students interact with each other and in their classroom learning place. Other means of engagement that worked in the past have changed to make students more active in their learning, and my students in particular have seen the most impact in learning through modeling, whether 2D or 3D.
The materials I requested in this campaign focus on two primary needs my students have: extra storage space for dioramas/projects made possible through storage solutions and shelving; and diagramming/graphic organizing space through whiteboards.
These items will help students overall in having the capacity to complete more complex and detailed hands-on experiences that they did not have the opportunity to grapple with over the past two years.
Additionally, some of the resources requested will allow students more freedom to choose where they are able to be successful in our learning environment - the bed risers will allow me to transform regular desks into standing desks, the class set of clipboards will allow students to work anywhere in the classroom when we make graphic organizers and one-pagers, and the surge protectors will allow more flexibility when working with their school-issued Chromebooks.
More than half of students from low‑income households
