Funding Our Future: Books, IPads, Supplies - Oh My

The Description

 

Our school is a small private school located in the Logan neighborhood of North Philadelphia that serves a predominately under-resourced student body. Our school believes that all students should have the ability to receive a quality education - regardless of their financial ability, so they provide over 90% of each students' tuition through fundraising.

I would love to be able to afford to provide my students with two classroom IPads, two classroom sets of books, and assorted classroom supplies.

With these funds I will provide my students with the following things to help enhance their classroom learning experience:

 

  • Classroom Ipad Air (2): These IPads will help us be able to use educational apps for classroom management such as Class Dojo, and will give students the opportunity to use some of the apps for creative classroom learning. For example, one of the ways I plan on using the Ipad is for our classroom stations.  This will also be a great tool as our classroom uses it for creative projects that would require video recordings.
  • A classroom set of "Wonder" by RJ Palacio: I would really like to teach the students how to annotate text and would love to be able to provide them each with a copy that they can use to read at home and analyze on their own. Doing so will not only enhance their reading skills but give them the opportunity to use the book for various homework assignments.
  • A classroom set of "Swipe" by Evan Angler
  • Assorted classroom supplies: The rest of the money will be used for classroom supplies such as pencils, snacks, pens, highlighters, post-it notes, and other related items that students may run out of during the year. 

Donations: By donating whatever you are able to, your donations make a difference. As I seek to provide my students with the best education that I am possibly able to give, your donations will help me continue to do that.

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase what I am able to afford using the money that is raised. I will prioritize it based on what is necessary for instruction.
