Mrs. Stiede from Oklahoma City OK is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Tools To Succeed!

Help me give my students supplies to succeed! These headphones, iPad pens, paper, candy are things that are going to be of good use in our class. We use dry-erase markers, erasers, and headphones daily!

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 students come from low-income households. They are so eager to learn. They don't have much help at home and a lot of them have parents that do not speak English. Their parents try to help, but most of their learning happens at school.

I want to give them the tools to improve their learning.

I want to meet them where they are and push them farther than they think they can go. My district has given us access to a reading and math program that will give them help where they need it. It is a computer program that assesses them and teaches them on their level to ensure the best learning possible for them. We also have resources that allow us to learn that is not just pencil and paper.

My Project

This project includes several items that will be used every day.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, but you will also ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

The use of whiteboards is almost a daily activity in my classroom. We use dry erase markers, boards, and erasers to enhance our phonics instruction. The students also use a ziplock bag to keep their items organized. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is a fact that the markers never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes awry, students know that they must leave the rug quietly to get a new marker, new eraser, or the last choice, pencil, and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction from either myself or other students.

Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going to work or not. Plus in this technology literate world, any interaction with updated technology will increase their literacy as well as their desire to learn and use the new technology!
