My Students

My students attend a Title I school in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Many of my students live in homes with a single working parent, and some of my students' parents are incarcerated. These children do need support from teachers and community leaders to help them be their best.

Forty percent of my class is composed of English Language Learners, and twenty percent is African American.

These children often struggle, because they do not have the supports at home to help them learn. All of my students are precious motivated children who simply lack the resources they need to teach their full potential.

My Project

My students need these durable binders to keep their reading vocabulary, knowledge, and reading response work. These are the sections of information they use for reading in class and virtually.

The children are often unable to buy their own binders, so having these provided for the children that need them will be very helpful.

Otherwise, they might not have a way to organize their work, and it is very important for the children to be able to reflect back on previous learning during a lesson. The durable binders will allow students to keep their work safe and organized as they transport it home and back to school daily.

There are many children that also keep their agenda in the binder. The binder helps them protect the agenda, which is for communicating with parents. Having a binder for their agenda keeps it safe and in a place they can find it.
