Mrs. Gordee from Chicago IL is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Pencils, Markers, and Expos Oh My

Help me give my students pencils and markers. The school supply struggle at this point in the year is real. I am coveting hallway floor pencils and purchasing Expo markers out of pocket.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I know these are basic supplies that should be available in every classroom, and they were in the Fall, when students came with supplies, ready to learn. At this point in the school year, the well has run dry and the pencils are scarce. Not having the basic interrupts the flow of the day and adds stress to those students who have to borrow from a peer. I personally purchase basic classroom supplies weekly and my well as run dry. Your donation will help students have access to pencils, markers, and Expo Markets, all of which we use on a daily basis.
