My Students
William Butler Yates once said, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." Each day my students come to school from a variety of difficult home lives to have this educational fire lit inside of them. My students attend a Title I school in South Carolina that enrolls students with a wide range of ability levels, different socioeconomic backgrounds, and many even have difficult home lives.
For the most part, the world of my students is a simple one that lacks resources and opportunities for learning.
Even something as simple as having reliable resources can make a difference in their lives. I believe in providing my students with the highest quality education I can offer them and hope that my efforts will truly benefit these students.
My school is an Arts in Basic Curriculum school, which means we focus on the integration of music, visual, and performing arts with our everyday lessons. For students who do not come from much, this integration is a way to provide them experiences and opportunities in which many of them may never get otherwise.
My Project
I would love to give my students the opportunity to become sharp thinkers with some sharp tools. My classroom needs a new electric pencil sharpener that is dependable enough to last for the year and some sharp scissors. We will be using the sharpened pencils to solve equations, illustrate Math problems and create word problems. The scissors will be used to cut out polygons, make various types of graphs and add information to our Math Journals. All of these activities will be important in making a group of sharp thinkers.
My students do not always have the supplies and tools they need to be successful in school but your donations would give my students this year, and for years to come, a chance to sharpen their skills and help make learning a little less dull.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
