My Project

As I teach in a Title I school, many of my students cannot afford supplies of their own and our school lacks money for classroom resources. My students are hungry to learn but need accessible readings and extra support in order to be successful and engaged. Resources for creative projects and practical applications are items that are in huge demand to allow my students to improve their skills and understanding of difficult concepts.

My district does not provide teachers with personal budgets.

As a result, I am lacking supplies that will foster greater outcomes. As such, I am seeking resources that will aid in greater engagement and results!

Shower curtain projects are a great way of getting larger groups to not only work together but to have a great time collaborating! This project will be used both for creating a larger group budgeting sheet and also for review for the AP Microeconomics exam! Students learn best when they learn together!
