  • Relevant Non-Fiction For My AP English Students

    Funded Mar 7, 2013

    Thank you for your generous donation. Your kindness and compassion gave my AP English Language and Composition students two amazing reading experiences. These books forced them to think critically and push beyond the surface of the text. I wish I could show you some of their amazing papers that were written in response to each title!

    Best of all, they truly enjoyed the books. It was such a treat watching them puzzle through some of the logic and evidence in 'Freakonomics,' and our class discussions were always lively and rich in debate. To say they LOVED 'In Cold Blood' is an understatement. Several have already told me it's now their favorite book. It's been fun watching them wrestle with feeling sympathy for the cold blooded killers that Capote characterizes with such detail and depth.

    In a time where our culture seems to be doing everything it can to stifle public education and reduce it to its most base form, I am so happy to count you as supporters of urban students. Your donation proves that not everyone accepts the status quo of underperforming, inner city schools.

    Thanks for believing in my students!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Lee

  • Show 'Em the Words: A Doc Cam to Ignite The Writing Process

    Funded Aug 10, 2012

    Thank you so much for your generous gift toward the purchase our document camera. To say it has been a God-send is an understatement. I use it every day, and it always saves me time and energy! I have almost eliminated copies in my classes; this saves paper AND helps keep the students engaged as they love to work with the doc cam. (They named it DOCtor CAMbellini!)

    I have been able to share much more text with them - student work, magazine articles, exemplar essays, even artwork! Student engagement is up, and I have seen improvement in their writing ability and vocabulary usage. I know this is in part due to the lessons I've given them using "Doctor Cambellini."

    Thank you again for your gift. Not only have you impacted my classroom and my students, but you've reminded me there ARE thoughtful, intentional, generous people who do truly care about public education in our country. Knowing I'm not alone in this battle is its own rich gift, and I thank you for that.

    Your selflessness is inspiring.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Lee

My students hail from the southwest corner of Atlanta. Most face the many trials that accompany growing up with financial instability in a troubling community. They have heart and drive, and they also have wildly different levels of reading and writing ability. Meeting each of them at the nexus of their interests and abilities is a challenge to say the least but absolutely necessary in order to guide their progress towards greater written expression in my American Lit. course. Our school is a Title I school, and over 88% of our students receive free or reduced lunch. Many people are familiar with the stereotypes of inner-city education, but behind the grit are students who are capable and caring, sometimes needing only opportunity and a little accountability to come into their own. By no fault of theirs, our district has faced incredible budget cuts, and access to quality print materials - in a variety of ability levels ranging from 2nd grade to college - is hard to come by.
