My Students

I am a middle school teacher, who's been teaching in a low income Chicago public school for over a decade. I love it! I absolutely love working with junior high students. We need classroom supplies to help further develop creative projects.

At my school, 76% of the students are African or African American and 15% are Hispanic.

Of the diverse student population, 95% of them receive free or reduced lunch. My junior high students are amazing, hard-working, and extremely talkative! They love working in partners and in groups, and above all, they love creating projects. Projects help their creative juices flow!

My Project

Donations to this project will help my language arts students work together. Whether used to chart their thinking, on partner/group tasks, or for a project, these materials with help my students think outside the box...and inspiring creativity is exactly what I try to do! The stencils, colored paper, poster boards, and paper sleeves will help them present vivid, unique projects!

Resources are so scarce, and being able to use these things in my classes will help the students feel eager to complete their work!

Donations to this project will improve student work. Students are always excited when they can show work that has appeal. These materials will help them do that. Having these supplies will help them create impressive projects for reading, writing, and social science.
