Mrs. Fitzpatrick from Buffalo NY is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Our own materials to keep us safe!!

Help me give my students what they need to succeed after virtual learning. We are coming back after ten months of hard work online and have to move into a classroom where everyone needs their own materials.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Every year my classroom community includes students from diverse cultures and backgrounds. Our biggest populations of students include: Arabic, Swahili, and Burmese. It is so important to me for students to be proud of who they are and maintain their sense of identity in a safe space.

My Kindergartners come in every day excited to learn!

I want to be able to provide fun and engaging learning activities for them.

These students live in urban communities, facing economic difficulties. Regardless of their experiences, they are bright and eager to explore the worlds around them.

My Project

Our students are returning from virtual learning. While some students are continuing the virtual world, many are coming back in person. I am hoping to gather enough materials to help the students in the classroom, and the students at home, to have the materials to help them succeed in our curriculum. Many of our students will be returning to school without any materials to help them succeed. For those staying at home, I would love to deliver the materials to help to succeed from afar. Headphones will help from the many distractions we see in and out of school. Individual white boards will help the students to show their knowledge without having to touch any materials belong to another student. Crayons will help with the creative decisions students make in their daily lives.
