I am a teacher in New York who teaches science to seventh grade students and also am an extra substitute when other teachers are absent. My school does not have enough classrooms for all of its teachers and some teachers, like myself, don't even have a desk.
My students need some consistency in an environment where consistency is difficult due to the fact that I borrow classrooms from other teachers. With no classroom to call my own I am very limited as to where I can have students hand in assignments and pick up worksheets for the day. Each day it varies based on what room is available in the classroom I am using. Having a mobile draw cart will allow both me and my students to have consistent organization, which is so important.
My classroom also includes special education students who have difficulty organizing so sheet protects can help them organize their notebooks and protect the papers that students must hold on to for the whole year. As this task often proves difficult, having a special covering for these papers increases the likelihood that they will not get lost or ripped throughout the year.
In addition, motivation is so important with middle school students. Keeping them focused requires me to be able to walk around the room at all times. A presentation remote will allow me the freedom to step away from the board to keep students on task and to answer questions while still allowing me to point to or highlight items on the board.
Your donation will help make it possible for me to create the classroom environment that my students need. You can make is possible for me to bring consistency and organization to my students and to be that little extra thing that means the difference between focus and lack of focus in the classroom.
I thank you very much for your consideration of my project
