Setting Up the First Year

Help me give my students access to basic supplies and organization tools for my first year classroom.

My Project

This project will provide a Lenovo laptop and essential classroom supplies to ensure all students have equitable access to the tools they need to succeed. The laptop will allow me to create engaging lessons, incorporate technology into instruction, organize classroom materials, and provide students with additional opportunities to learn in different ways. Supplies such as dry-erase markers, Post-it notes, sharpeners, and other everyday classroom materials will ensure that students always have the resources they need to participate fully in class.

Having these supplies readily available will help remove barriers that may prevent students from being able to participate or complete activities.

My goal is to create an inclusive, organized, and engaging classroom where every student has access to the same resources and an equal opportunity to learn, collaborate, and be successful.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
