My students are mostly Arabic and from many different Arabic countries around the world , such as, Egypt, Palestine, Jorden and Syria. They are so enthusiastic about school in first grade and are eager to learn how to read. Some come into school with not one word of English. This project is to support my amazing students who have been walking into my classrrom the past 16 years. These are very special children from all around the world.I teach at a low income school where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families.
Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school, because they want to learn all they can, so they can be successful one day. I know they will be!
Through this projest, I am asking for mathbooks, copypaper and construction paper.
These items will help me be able to prepare ahead of time and be more effective classroom teacher.
My Project
My current project is for the funding of 30 math books, construction paper, glue and scissors. Teachers must pull all of their sources from the internet or old books.
The district refuses to buy any kind of series to follow.
This takes a lot of time and effort for teachers to search for material and lots of copy paper. The teachers have to buy more paper of ask for donations from the students.
These workbooks will be extremely helpful because they are updated and useful for each individual student. The construction paper, glue sticks and scissors will assist my students in art projects since art class is no longer available.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
