My students come from a low-income area with very diverse backgrounds. Due to different circumstances, their families are unable to provide manipulatives, literature, or other materials needed to make adequate growth. I believe regardless of your social status you deserve a good education! So, as their teacher, it is my mission to help supply them with what they need to leave my class on grade level or above.
Due to circumstances they cannot control, my students come in below their grade level peers.
My Project
This will be my first year teaching Second grade and I am so very excited! But teaching a new grade level comes with many different obstacles; new classroom, new lesson plans, new daily routines, and new students.
The materials in this project will help make all of these new (fun but scary) obstacles so much easier!
All of these materials will be used or looked at EVERY SINGLE DAY by my students. All of the paper will be used for classroom decorations, anchor charts, or notes to send home to parents. The laminator will allow the paper that I print on to have a longer life! (We know how kids are!) And last but not least the pencil sharpener will obviously be used daily to sharpen pencils!
Your generosity to this project will truly help me get ready to start a new year in a new grade level and will benefit my students every day of the entire year!
