I teach 4th grade at a Title I school that is located in Louisiana. I have wonderful students in my class who love to learn. My school is very dynamic and all of our 4th grade teachers work together to make one-on-one and tactile learning possible for our students.
Despite some personal hardships, the parents of my students are cooperative, supportive and desire that their children receive the best education possible. Many have basic needs, as our community was drastically impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and my school opened its arms to the students and their parents.
At the end of every school year, I have my students fill out a confidential questionaire so they can tell me what they liked about my classroom and teaching and what I can improve for next year. The only thing they wanted me to change was to add more center supplies because they love center time. To achieve this, my class is in desperate need of center supplies in order to increase their hands-on learning. The supplies I have chosen are durable and interesting. These include weights for our balances and liquid measurement tools. They helped me select which items to request and were so excited about these.
These children love school and they love learning, it makes teaching them a privilege instead of a job. I buy all of our Kleenex, paper towels, writing journals, and folders. I also buy baby wipes for the children to wipe their faces after P.E. and recess to refresh them.
My students have dreams of college and understand that an education is their way to success. I have tried to build relationships with my parents so they know that I will mentor the children throughout their lives, not just in 4th grade. I love my students and it is important to me that they succeed not only in 4th grade, but in life.
In the last 2 years I have spent over $3,000 of my own money buying uniforms, shoes, eyeglasses, and other things that my students need. I try to care for each child as I would my own children. This grant would go far in helping the children learn. I will gladly do whatever is necessary to comply with any and all terms associated with this grant and I thank you sincerely for your kind consideration of my request.
