COVID-19 Won't Take My Stride!

Help me give my students individual supplies to use daily during our learning and instruction. A majority of my students rely on donated materials and teacher-bought materials in order to have the tools to be successful in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leposa's classroom raised $249

My Students

Our classroom is struggling to maintain the same level of engagement as we had in our regular classroom. I am currently trying to build more consistent effort and participation in our learning activities through daily google meet video chats. During this time, my students need materials to use for our activities and they do not have them at home. Besides the Chromebook given to them from the school district, they need paper, pencils, etc.

As a teacher during this time, I'm striving to bring every material, resource, etc to keep my students learning now and throughout the summer months.

My students use the Google classroom platform connected with other digital resources to keep learning. It is my hope that with extra resources at their finger tips, they will continue to rise during this time and continue learning.

My Project

These materials will allow for each student to have individual materials daily for teaching and learning. Going into a school year of uncertainty, students will need materials now more than ever and the need for individual materials (no sharing). With this project, students will have the basic materials needed to be successful during virtual learning and when we go back to the regular school setting. At home, students won't have to worry about not having the materials. Once back in the school building, students will be able to have their individual materials ready for use instantly.
