Successful Learning at Home!

Help me give my students these supplies to use during the first nine weeks of school. The majority of my students come from low-income communities and have little or no resources at home.

My Students

My students are 2nd graders in a high poverty, inner-city primary school. 100% of students receive free breakfast and lunch. We give students coats to keep warm, pencils to do their homework with, and backpacks to carry their schoolwork home in. 99% of the time my students come to school happy, smiling, and eager to learn. They are kind, caring, and curious, and always ready to lend a helping hand to one another. The other 1% of the time though I hear stories about gunshots in the night, homelessness, death, and sadly abuse. I comfort, console, counsel, cheer, and most importantly listen without judging. In 8 short years they have already endured a lifetime of heartache. Despite all of this they constantly want to learn. They ask many questions and soak up the answers like sponges. They understand at an early age that education is a way out for them. Our district asks the students to make a promise to dream big!

My Project

I can just imagine my future 2nd-grade students' faces lighting up when they receive these supplies. I requested the same items last Spring for my 2nd -grade students while they learned remotely. When I delivered them to their homes they were speechless. Of course, we have all of these supplies at school but I am positive it is a completely different story in many homes.

Their very own box of 64-count Crayola Crayons?

Mechanical Pencils! Markers! Colored Pencils! Rulers! FlashCards! Construction Paper! I can hear their shouts of joy! "Mom look, now I can do my work and really make Mrs. Keller proud!"

I am so sad I won't get to meet my new friends until at least the second semester of school:( Until then I want to be sure they have the necessary supplies to begin the school year on a positive note!
