The Description

As a teacher I am responsible for my very own classroom! I engage daily with my students and their families, and it is my responsibility to ensure that my classroom is a welcoming environment for everyone. One of the biggest challenges is making sure that all of my students have the materials they need to participate in class daily. This is especially important at the beginning of the school year, when we set the tone for how important it is for everyone to be a part of our classroom community.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the supplies needed to welcome my students back to their classroom that is clean and stocked full with materials. This will allow me to provide the required supplies to students that otherwise would not have them. I will also purchase copy paper to ensure that I can provide my students with high quality learning materials, whether that is exit tickets, independent activities, or homework.

Every dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference in our classroom. As always, I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my group of students and letting them know that they have a community that supports them both near and far will definitely get us on the right track.

About the Creator

I am a born and raised Boston resident. Growing up in the Boston Public School system was a journey that built me to be the educator I am today. Coming from a low-income bilingual household and attending a school that was low on textbooks impacts my opinion on how important materials are to be successful. I decided that I needed to challenge the youth to not only be successful in my classroom but in society. I was able to return to my community through Teach For America and touch the hearts of students growing up in the same neighborhood.
