Open Discussions, Relationships, and Basic Needs

Help me give my students a space to share their thoughts. Post-its and prizes allow for fluid discussions with peers and whole groups. Donations will help fill some basic needs as well-Bandaids and cleaning supplies are important.

My Project

Relationships are one of the most important parts of the classroom. Sure learning is important, but connecting with students is the key. Non-food prizes allow students the opportunity to be rewarded for just being amazing. Giving students multiple ways to communicate their understanding of the content help as well. Large Post-its are used for silent discussions, sharing annotations, collaborating with peers.

In addition, educators are responsible for the basic necessities of the classroom, so Band-aids and cleaning supplies for the science lab are a must-have.

Classrooms are underfunded especially in Chicago, so making sure my students have what they need is important to me.
