My Students
Over 85 students come to my classroom in order to create, re-enact, perform, simulate, and do social studies. My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and in total they speak over a dozen languages at home. As an educator, it is my hope to bring all of their unique perspectives out into the open. Through this exposure to diverse ideas and opinions, we are able to come together as a community.
When my students leave, I want them to walk away with an appreciation for all that the world has to offer.
It is through our shared experiences that we are able to come closer together as a class and community. We then are able to tackle problems previously thought impossible when working alone.
My Project
Our school will be meeting digitally to begin the academic year. That comes with a lot of new challenges and opportunities, many of which include technology. However helpful a new laptop may be right now, the bare essentials for learning at home will still be a pencil and notebook. We want to help give our students those bare essentials which includes: pencils, a notebook, a ruler, post-it notes, colored pencils, and a mini-pencil sharpener. Those six items are essential for learning no matter where the classroom may be. We wish we could be with them every day, in part, because then every student would have access to the supplies they need to learn.
We went from just 6 classrooms at school, to now almost 200 mini-classrooms spread out across the neighborhood, each one in need of non-tech, bare essential school supplies.
With your help we will be able to purchase, then safely distribute these supplies to each and every 7th and 8th grader at our school!
