This teacher needs your help!

Ms. Lowry from Charlotte, NC is requesting supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Support a First Year Teacher

My students need materials in order for me to create anchor charts for them to reference throughout the year. They also need binders in order to track their learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lowry's classroom raised $395

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are ready to learn. A lot of them have come to my class below grade level and need extra support in order to get them back on track. I am a first year teacher that lacks the materials that my students need to help scaffold them to the place that they need to be.

My students are hungry for knowledge and are hard workers that are ready to put in the work that they need in order to get the material that they need.

Most are below grade level in reading and struggle in math. The school is a Title I school meaning that most of the students come from low income homes. All the students are able to eat free breakfast and lunch because of the demographics of the school.

My Project

My students need materials in order for me to create anchor charts for them to reference throughout the year. Binders are needed for students to keep track of their data throughout the year so they can see how they are progressing with each skill. Students will be able to use these resources in order to become a life long learner and be accountable for their learning.

Donations will help students who are struggling to retain the information being presented to them.

Students will be able to access all learning materials that they have learned throughout the year so they do not loose it when another skill is taught. These donations will help students be in charge of their learning and understand that they are also apart of the education that they get.
