My Students

Nelson Mandela once said, "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children."

Our students need basic learning supplies in order to thrive - and I am here to champion their cause!

I teach an amazing group of 2nd graders from a low-income part of Far Rockaway, Queens (which was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy and is still rebuilding). This year, our rising 2nd graders come to us with a range of special needs - both academic and personal. Coupled with limited financial resources, it is a struggle for our kids and their families to purchase the necessary school supplies and materials they need to do their best. It is our mission to ensure each child begins this school year armed and ready to work hard and reach their goals!

My Project

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The large carpet will be placed in the front of the classroom and used as a gathering place during mini-lessons and share time. The paper, staplers, markers, and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so that they may create books. The organizational baskets, crates, and cups will be placed on the shelves in the back of our classroom and will help the Writer's Workshop process run smoothly from day to day. The timer will be used so that my students know how much work time they have left, as it is not good practice to cut off students without warning. The chart paper will be used to create anchor charts that reflect the discussions we have during our mini-lessons.
