My Project

New York City Public School teachers receive $250 for classroom technology, resources, and supplies-which covers little to nothing, especially for a teacher like me who services about 350 students per week. I spent my Teacher's Choice money before the students even walk through the door in September. Now more than ever, we need additional resources to support our students.

I'm requesting stickers, stamps, bookmarks, pencils, and erasers as prizes for positive reinforcement in my classroom.

This year I have the fantastic opportunity to teach English as a New Language (ENL) through visual arts. As an ENL teacher, I teach reading, writing, listening, and speaking through the arts. First, students explore artwork by famous artists by listening, speaking, and writing about them. Then, students attend, read and write about the artists. Last, students create artwork inspired by the artist. In order to create a positive learning environment, I like to give out several prizes at the end of each class to students who pay attention during the lesson, follow directions, share their great ideas, and are models for the rest of the students.

Would you please help my vision become a reality by donating to this project? Your generosity means the world to us! Your donations are truly appreciated. Thank you.

Ms. Marcinkowski PS 120 Queens Grades 3-5
