Mrs. Feeney from Bayonne NJ is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

It's the Simple Things

Help me give my students some basics to make their year more successful and fun. So many are without a hand held pencil sharpener, which is so needed for uninterrupted practice in math class.

My Students

As a teacher in a school district with a large percentage of economically disadvantaged children, I see that my students, sometimes have a difficult time putting learning first. I try my best to keep things engaging.

Unfortunately, more and more, I am seeing students coming to school in September without school supplies.

I have students without the basic necessities for a good school day - a sturdy notebook, pencils or erasers. It truly causes the children themselves a great deal of stress.

I teach three sections of fourth grade mathematics. My homeroom section is the inclusion class, with both regular and special education students. For any student, being prepared for school is not a luxury! It is essential!

It doesn't take very much to make these guys happy. They love math, and when I teach them something new, using the "Feeney Method" of Mathematics, they truly get a kick out of the lesson. I would love to take away any and all obstacles to their learning. That's where you can help.

My Project

Many of my students have only the very basic school supplies to begin their year. However, as the year goes on, many of the items are lost, broken or used up. It's difficult for some of them to get these things replaced. Crayons, colored pencils, sharpeners and glue sticks seem as though they are basic supplies, but for some students these items are extras that they have a hard time getting from home. Your help would be much appreciated in supplying the students and the classroom with these necessary items. Thank you!
