Building The Foundation: Startup Classroom Supplies

The Description

After completing Teach for America’s - 2019 Dallas-Fort-Worth Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! I can't wait to decorate and meet my students and their families. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the startup supplies needed to welcome my students to a 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. Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and my students at the beginning of this exciting journey.

Every dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my first year. I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my first 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. Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my very first classroom:

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal, I will purchase as many materials as possible. I will prioritize the materials that are most essential to students (pencils, paper, etc.) as they are the most important to ensuring that students can participate in daily lessons.

About the Creator

I have been blessed and beyond fortunate to have used my education in order to have worldly experiences such as researching at the esteemed National Institutes of Health, studying and interning abroad in Cape Town, South Africa as part of a global education team and living in Austin, Texas a bustling hub of education, self-betterment and opportunity.

All of these experiences, and more, are why I am a teacher. I want to foster environments for students to connect on something deeper than the subject material. I want them to remember the laughs, remember the smiles, I want them to feel safe to express themselves and feel safe to be who they are. I want to be a living representation that no matter where you start, education can and will elevate you as far as you are willing to put in the work in order to go.

So thank you, everyone. For without your donations, none of this life altering work would be possible.
