My students need 10 overhead projector replacement bulbs to help them SEE what we're learning for biology class.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Freeman's classroom raised $194
This project is fully funded
I teach biology at the Boston Community Leadership Academy-- a small public (pilot) school in Boston. Students come from diverse urban backgrounds and are considered high-need.
BCLA has an insufficient city budget for supplying teachers with essential classroom classroom needs. I use an overhead every day in my classroom-- 5 hours each day. At this rate, overhead lamps stop working after a just a few weeks. Every year we need a fresh supply of overhead lamps! Without an overhead, students struggle to focus on the task at hand.
I often display worksheets, objectives, do-now activities, and other instructions on the overhead. This helps all students, even those sitting far from the board, follow along with lessons. It keeps them focused, and gives a point of reference for non-auditory learners. My students will benefit from use of the overhead every day, without a doubt.
Your donation will help a small supply shortage make a big difference for 100 high school students.
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
