Supply Us 4 2021

Help me give my students basic school supplies and Kleenex products to start the school year off with what they will need.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mister's classroom raised $498

My Students

I have taught primary grade children for the past twenty-nine years in the inner city of one of Chicago's most challenging neighborhoods on the south side. This year I am expecting to have twenty to twenty-four first graders.

The students at my school are hard workers and are eager to learn; they are looking forward to being back in the classroom full time after a year and a half of remote learning.

I also teach an after-school program to first and second-grade girls called "Sistas of STEM" and an after-school program "Number Ninjas" for primary grade students. Both programs were developed by me.

My Project

The supplies I am requesting are essential for my students to use at school and at home this upcoming school year. The Kleenex supplies are necessary for those runny noses and the need to wipe hands quickly especially when we are doing "messy" work. Students will use the other school supplies daily to do their assignments. The primary grade notebooks, pencils, and crayons will be used to do journal writing for the first quarter of the school year. The glue will be used to do weekly STEM Design Challenges using recyclables. They will use the dry erase markers to do Math Talks, open-ended math questions, and practice their penmanship on our small classroom whiteboards. My students will be doing a balance of technology/website activities as well as paper/pencil work during the upcoming school year.
