My Project

Every student deserves a classroom where they feel prepared and empowered to learn. Unfortunately, I work in an environment where students do not always have the basic supplies they need - pencils, folders, glue, and other essentials. Having these materials readily available will allow students to focus on their learning rather than worrying about their lack of supplies and being to keep up with their peers. In the middle school setting, time is of the essence and when time is spent looking for supplies or waiting to use peer's materials, this can hinder with the learning experience.

With your generous support, I will be able to provide my students with an abundance of materials to aid them with success in class.

Folders to hold all their materials together. A pencil pouch to keep all their supplies (glue, scissors, colored pencils, pencils, etc.) in one place. Students struggle with organizational skills but this pencil pouch will aid them in being organized. A crate will aid me in keeping the folders organized.

Having these supplies in the classroom will remove barriers to success and help students develop confidence and independence in their learning. It will allow me as the teacher to allow me to focus more on instruction and engagement rather than scrambling to provide materials out of pocket.

Your donation will make a direct difference in my students' education by ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed every single day.

Thank you in advance for your kindness and support!
