Help Mrs. Kennedy

I teach 6th grade at an inner city school. My class has many students that are new to the country and are trying to acclimate to the American culture and learn English as well as children from families that are struggling to provide basic necessities. Often times, these students are not prepared with basic supplies such as paper and pencils or are not ready to verbalize answers in a new language.

Teaching students who are in desperate need of supplies presents many challenges. Some are embarrassed to admit that they are not prepared and others will try to avoid working situations. Many of these students are also unable to share their answers with the class as they learn a new language, but they do have a wealth of knowledge. My students need to come to school feeling comfortable and ready to learn, but many find it hard when they face these obstacles.

By providing my students with 24 white boards, as well as a set dry erase markers and erasers, they will not have to use paper every time they need to solve a problem in math or practice writing new words in reading. They will also be able to provide me with a response without having to use a new language by simply writing their answer on the white board and holding it up for me to see. White boards will provide a way for me to engage my students in math and reading lessons without having to worry so much about paper and pencil supplies.

As each student is able to feel more comfortable in my classroom, they will be able to focus more on learning. You will make it possible for me to get a response from every student while also eliminating the need for them to use their precious consumable supplies by donating white boards, dry erase markers, and erasers.
