My students need simple school supplies to succeed in school. Their faces light up when on the first day of school, these materials are already on their desk.

My Students
My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who is the best fifth grade class in the whole world?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.
I teach at a Title 1 School, in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago, where 100 percent of our students receive free breakfast and lunch.
Many of my students receive backpack food on the weekend, and our school also runs a food pantry for our families. Despite so many hardships, my students are eager to learn and do their best. They want to be in school because they want to learn all they can so they can be successful one day
My Project
I woke myself up
Because we ain’t got an alarm clock
Dug in the dirty clothes basket,
Cause ain’t nobody washed my uniform
Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,
Cause the lights ain’t on
Even got my baby sister ready
Cause my mama wasn’t home.
Got us both to school on time,
To eat us a good breakfast.
Then when I got to class the teacher fussed
Cause I ain’t got a pencil.
Cause I ain’t got a pencil
By Joshua T. Dickerson
This is a poem that hits home to many of the young learners in my room.
In this project I am requesting basic classroom supplies, including pencils.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
