This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I once heard, "Life is like a math equation. We must convert the negatives into positives!" This is what I plan to achieve as a math teacher for a public school in need. My students are part of an urban community in MA. They are diverse, bright learners. Some of my students grow up in a house with a loving family; others do not. Some of my students have the support at home with parents who will ask what they have for homework and if they need any help; others do not. Sadly, some of the students who attend the school where I teach don't even have parents or a home. Despite this, they come to school every day eager to learn and most days with a smile on their faces. I want to impact their lives and show them that there are people in the world who do care about students in need in an urban area.
My Project
Unfortunately, the budget is quite low for school supplies. I currently have 85 students without books while I'm only allowed minimal supplies per month! I want to expand the minds of my students without hesitation. While it is difficult enough to explain math lessons without the students having a textbook, it is even more limiting with the supply shortage. The students NEED resources to be able to access at home. My goal is to create fun ways for my students to learn while giving them the chance to take these resources home with them! I LOVE foldables and these give my students the chance to be proud of their work by being able to make it their own. The headphones storage case will also come in handy when the students use the computers for centers. My special education students also benefit from visuals and color coding which is why the markers and pencils are beneficial. We are supplied with dry erase boards the students can graph on; however, I need dry erase markers to use the boards.
Your donations will strongly impact my students' minds.
While having the opportunity to use different resources inside and outside of the classroom, you will more importantly show them that people care. The appreciation they will feel from your donation will change their lives as much as having the great resources they need. I want the 2018-2019 school year to come to be a great success, and I plan to achieve this with your help from resources!
