Teaching in the inner city causes classrooms to often become very transient environments. The donations will help improve my classroom by helping what can sometimes be a very transient environment feel like home. With these funds my students will become better class participants. With ink for a previously donated printer in my classroom I will be able to provide all of my students with ample independent worksheets to hone their skills and give my students a resource to print out their work since a large percentage do not have computers in their homes. Most of my students have not grounded necessary note-taking skills to ensure they are pulling the pertinent information and summarizing it so that they may reference it when referring back to their notes. With the use of the materials purchased the students can record themselves articulating the information as evidence of them not only understanding it but explaining concepts in their own words. Our school lost most of our glassware from a pipe bursting in our stockroom. Most glassware is old, stained, and broken. These donations will help my students stay focused, as they will have notes to read, glassware to use, and technology to help push them forward intellectually. They will leave my classroom inspired and with skills to help them to be successful in whatever post-secondary path they choose.
