My Project

My project consists of basic supplies needed to give my student artists a fresh start and enhance their seventh grade year in math class. My students are not only excelling in their math studies but also pursuing their passions in various artistic fields.

As a math teacher, my goal is to create an enriching environment where students can thrive academically while also fostering their creative talents.

Students attend my school specifically to pursue their passions in dancing, acting, visual arts, band, orchestra, singing, playing the piano, and creative writing. To support their learning across these diverse areas, I need some basic supplies that will enhance their overall educational experience.

Some the supplies that I am requesting are as follows:

Calculators: Essential for solving complex problems and exploring mathematical concepts, calculators will help our students manage their mathematical work efficiently.

Copy Paper: Necessary for printing worksheets, project drafts, and other materials that support both math and artistic projects.

Pencils: Fundamental for note-taking, sketching, and drafting in both math assignments and creative projects.

Dry Erase Markers: Crucial for interactive math lessons, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative work that also intersects with their creative activities.

By contributing to the cost of these supplies, you will help provide a supportive and resource-rich environment that bridges their academic and artistic pursuits. Your donations will ensure that students have the tools they need to excel in math while engaging in their creative endeavors, whether it’s performing on stage, creating visual art, playing in the band or orchestra, or writing compelling stories.

Every donation, no matter the size, will directly impact my students' ability to learn and grow. Your support will help me offer them the best environment for both their academic and artistic development.
