Sustainability Through Academic Growth

Help me give my students the necessary resources to complete this school year so that their only focus is academic, emotional, and social growth.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Tadesse's classroom raised $300

This project is fully funded

My Students

Many students have come to understand that academic experience, coupled with emotional states of their minds, and the ability to see a bright future have been compromised by the recent interruption by the COVID-19 epidemic. In a time where students are constantly reminded of social distancing and avoiding close contacts in and out of classrooms, there is hope. This project is created to help students perceive that we stand by them and prepare them for the future academically and emotionally regardless of the uncertainties that surround them.

Though more than 85% of my students are economically disadvantaged, the resources in this project will meet their specific needs so that they can continue to demonstrate their skills without having to worry about where they next supply of school materials come from.

My Project

The need to come to school with the necessary resources is very important. The resources in this project are strategically designed to supply students with the materials they need for every classroom activity.

Today's classroom instructions require students to be engaged and interact in a collaborative setting.

Through authentic discourse, students annotate their reading materials, record their understanding on their notebooks, and share amongst each other.

As the 21st century demands rigorous skills through blended learning activity, having resources such as tablets, computers, and headphones enables students to be prepared at all times.
