My Project

I'm a first-time 8th ELA teacher working in a Philadelphia Public School.

The items I've requested enable students to succeed in a differentiated classroom with many ability levels, languages spoken, and sensory needs.

There are obvious items, like pencils, markers, erasers, but also wipes to keep our classroom clean, headsets for students who read better while listening (as well as students who need quiet to focus), a rug to create a space for students to calm down or have serious conversations, as well as incentives like stickers. Any contribution is appreciated (but especially pencils)!

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
