When most people go to work, they are greeted by a computer, a register, or a telephone. I get greeted by tiny, smiling faces that are eager to learn. These amazing students are the reason I gladly stay till five at night, come in on the weekends, and toss and turn at night thinking about their successes and areas of improvement.
There is growing scientific evidence that shows students environments greatly impact their ability to learn and their test scores.
My goal create a classroom environment and provide supplies that help students thrive to the best of their ability. My students are kind, giving, happy and dedicated to their education. Knowing that cheeseburgers are my favorite food, I often hear "Mrs. Crane, meet me in the cafeteria, cheeseburgers are on the menu today. You can share mine with me!" They have pride in who they are, how hard they work at school, and the bond we have made. At my school, more than half of our students are economically disadvantaged, and many come from foster programs and/or are English language learners. Donating to my class today will not only help my current students but also many more to come!
My Project
As we all know the world has come to a halt. Starting distant learning, at home learning, is having a huge impact on all students. I am creating "goodie bags" for each of my students. This will include things they need to keep learning at home, so far I have many things, crayons, scissors, pencils and more. However, we are in need of a few more items which I am hoping you can help with.
Many of my students do not have any of the basic materials they need to continue learning while at home, this project will help them continue to grow their little minds this last 3rd of the year.
My students need whiteboards to complete tasks we work through together on Zoom and glue to finish at home projects. Together we can insure all students continue having a quality education.
