My Students

The students in my classroom live in a high poverty community west of Honolulu. Because of family struggles, they often do not come to school with needed school supplies, making it difficult for them to participate fully in their education.

My students are precocious, active, and full of life.

They are at an age where they are only beginning to understand the many social and economic issues that plague their low income, rural community. The school they attend is the lowest ranked school in the state, one that has faced severe budget cuts and does not provide students with many supplies. My students often see school as a chance to get away from home, a safe place where they can get a meal, socialize and even learn. Although school is a safe haven, it still doesn't provide enough resources and needed supplies for their active learning.

My Project

The school supplies requested are needed so that the neediest students can be provided with tools for their interactive learning notebooks. Their notebooks are used for their "Do Nows," exercises to get them settled and thinking at the beginning of class, note taking, as well as their in-class work. The glue, tape, pencils and other supplies are much needed so that students have tools needed in order to learn, practice the skills they learn and be able to create work showcasing their knowledge. In math, it's important to show evidence of learning so that they can feel proud of their work and ownership of their learning.

This project is so important because students often do not have the funds to supply the basic tools necessary for learning, such as pencils, notebooks, glue and markers.

These tools are essential for their learning, to participate in class to practice their skills, and to help them in their organizational skills. My students deserve these supplies because school is a well liked place, and they recognize its importance. By donating to this project, you will make an important impact on students.
