My Students

I teach in an urban school district that has a high poverty rate. Continual cuts to school funding results in fewer resources available to my students. Resources that support and challenge my students will help them to be successful.

Unfortunately, distance learning has created new, and different, needs.

Schools do not have the funds to purchase the resources to effectively build community and teach in a virtual environment. My students are bright and deserve every opportunity to succeed.

My Project

We have currently transitioned back to in-person learning. However, students are not allowed to use their lockers or community supplies. Students must keep all of their own supplies at their desk.

Without the use of community supplies and storage areas, students need a way to keep all their supplies, including bulky items, at their desk.

The crates will allow students to store head phones, Chromebooks, tissues, and other items that will not easily fit inside of their desk. This will help keep our room tidy and keep students from tripping over backpacks and other items on the floor.

The TPT gift card will allow me to purchase digital resources to reduce the amount of papers handed out which will reduce the potential risk of exposure.
