Without a Pencil, Without an Idea

My students need basic writing supplies such as pencils and paper.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Butler's classroom raised $187

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are an amazing school with a special vibe. Although we have seen several changes in administration, the core of our school stays strong. Our students feel safe here amidst the chaos of the street. Located in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in New York, it is a place you can't leave. At a pre-k to 8 school you have the unique ability to watch small cohorts of scholars mature into awesome young adults. That is our school!

The paper will allow me to print and copy supplement resources that are often not included in the curriculum material.

The pencils are self explanatory. There are 180 days in the school year and most students start asking for pencils in October! Haha!

My Project

As the summer ends, the thoughts for the new year begin. How will I arrange the desks for success? What system for reviewing homework will I use this year? Will the students come with supplies? Will the school provide supplies? Will I have enough money to cover all of my out of classroom expenses this year? With the basics of pencils and paper, I am confident that I can enact productive management systems for behavior, academics, social and emotional development. Believe it or not, when all students have access to supplies bullying decreases! No child is left to "fend for themselves."

My students will benefit because they will have a pencil and paper every day.

They will also be able to sharpen their pencil with the requested pencil sharpener.
