My Project

These are basic items I need to ensure that I can run my classroom effectively. My students come from an under-served West Philly community, and I cannot wait to encourage them to attain their hopes and dreams with all of their unlocked potential. My students need a space to feel seen and heard so that their curiosity is never diminished and they always believe in themselves and the power of learning. I have been able to purchase many representative classroom books, posters, and decorations that uplift my students' culture, but I still need help funding these items in my cart such as filing bins to receive and return student work and a mobile laptop desk so I can project information on the board while standing with my students.
