As a librarian in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I am aiming to keep things simple and provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
Our library is the center of learning for our diverse population.
Our students visit the library often, for a variety of reasons, and I want to continue to serve them in all subject areas such as English, math, science, social studies, and robotics.
Our elementary school is a large, urban public school with almost five hundred students. Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over seventy percent of our students receiving free lunch. The ethnic breakdown of the school is 39% white, 37% Hispanic, 14% black, and 8% Asian.
My Project
I am requesting some basic supplies for the library that would be used for the students all year long. As a school librarian I do not get a basic supply of clorox wipes, kleenex, paper towels, or pencil sharpener for the beginning of the year. These things will be used by students who visit the library.
I am requesting these materials because my students need basic supplies to create their masterpieces and to stay healthy.
Students need colored pencils because they need another medium to color with other than crayons. The air compressor will be used to pump up our balance ball seats from Lakeshore Learning.
In addition, I am requesting chocolate candy to give out to students and teachers who need a quick chocolate fix.
Last, I am requesting a Tech Tub, so I can put all my ipads in one place to lock up and charge at night.
