Smooth Sailing with Basic Supplies

Help me give my students access to various supplies that help our class run smoothly throughout the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parker's classroom raised $224

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My seventh grade English Language Arts students are wonderful. They are kind, thoughtful, and for the most part, love to read. They are mostly from Queens. My school is a Title I school, which means that a large percentage of our students come from low-income​ households.

My students benefit from having various material to allow our classroom to run smoothly.

Having these supplies in the classroom will allow the students to have their own personal files and have our usual routines work efficiently.

My Project

The supplies covered in this project will help my classroom run smoothly in several regards. The fake pennies will help with the Penny Protocol - a discussion method that asks every student to put their "two cents in," ensuring that the quiet students participate and the louder students don't dominate. The sheet protectors are for the students' files, where their writing work for the year is kept. The laminating pouches are so their student work can be preserved and displayed. The Post-its are for the constant annotation that goes on in our class, as students analyze for meaning this way. The wireless doorbell will allow for a fun way to get my students' attention. All of these supplies will help my class run smoothly!
