My Project

Dear Generous Donors,

Thank you so much for considering supporting my 7th and 8th-grade math students.

In my classroom, whiteboards are used regularly for quick formative assessments and occasionally collaborative learning. They allow students to practice, share their ideas, and demonstrate their understanding in real-time. However, we face a constant challenge: markers dry out, erasers disappear or wear out over time, and whiteboards become stained over time. These small interruptions add up, especially for students who experience challenges with focusing, making it difficult for them to engage fully in lessons.

To improve this, I am requesting whiteboard markers, cleaners, and erasers so that our whiteboards can be a reliable, effective tool for every student. Additionally, I have requested pencils, rulers, posters, markers, and colored pencils, so students can display their thinking creatively, while also focusing on precision in mathematical tasks.

Your support will directly impact their learning by reducing distractions and allowing students to focus on what matters—developing their mathematical skills. The tools you help us purchase will foster better engagement, increase academic achievement, and encourage a love of learning.

Thank you for your incredible generosity. Your contribution will make a significant difference in my students' educational journey!

Sincerely,

Kamasi Kendrick
