I teach second grade inclusion at an elementary school on the Big Island in Hawaii. My students represent many different cultures and economic backgrounds. Most of my students are "disadvantaged" due to economic backgrounds.
Although my students may be facing challenges in their lives, they are always eager to learn new things.
Our school has been using a state mandated reading and math curriculum. Many of our students are struggling, especially with the reading curriculum. Our students experience difficulty relating to the stories shared in the reading curriculum, because of their limited exposure to different climates and cultures. Many of our students have never left the Hawaiian islands; therefore, their personal experiences are very limited.
My Project
This project is to help supply my second graders with some of the basic school supplies that they'll need to start off the next school year. Our school has recently cut our classroom budgets for the next school year due to the coronavirus pandemic and many families are also struggling to meet their basic needs.
My students will be so happy to come into a learning environment that is set up with learning tools that they'll need to be successful learners.
The binders will be used to help my students keep their student planner and homework papers safe. The pencils, erasers, folder, notebook, dry erase pens, colored pencils and markers will be used by all students throughout the school year.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
