Help Students Excel With English Class Essentials

Help me give my students essentials for English class so they can can be equipped for success!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shanice's classroom raised $643

My Project

In high school, English class isn’t just about reading and writing—it’s about building the critical thinking and communication skills that shape our students’ futures. My 10th grade students are eager to continue unpacking literature and informational texts, improve their writing, and engage in meaningful academic discussions, but need more resources to do so successfully.

By supporting this project, these English class essentials will empower my students to excel, and provide keys to unlocking creativity, deep analysis, and the confidence every high schooler needs to express themselves clearly and effectively.

Additionally, by donating to this project, students will get the pencils, notebooks, dry erase markers, and headphones they need to assist them with completing grade-level work on paper and online. More students will also be able to enjoy audio accompaniment for the novels and plays, as well as the independent reading we're doing. With these supplies, you’re also ensuring that all students can actively participate in class, feel prepared for assignments, and access the resources they need to succeed whether working in class or at home.

Thank you for investing in the next generation of critical thinkers, writers, and leaders!
