We Need Paper for Our Students!

Help me give my students the necessary and much-needed materials for their learning. How can students learn without seeing what they're learning on paper? Paper is a necessity for everything in the classroom.

My Project

I am a middle school math/science teacher at a neighborhood K-8 elementary school. I will be working with 6th-grade students. As with most schools, my students are on multiple academic levels, and my job is to teach them new material while reminding them about past material that they learned. I teach at a Title I school.

My students are creative, kind, funny, and driven.

They want to understand the material, and the new curriculum that we are using is challenging for them to understand. I want to give them all the necessary resources to understand everything I need to teach and be prepared. I want to allow them to expand their horizons in all areas of life.

Simply put, we need paper! We have a very limited supply, and the school's orders are not consistent or dependable. Hard copies of student activities and emergency lesson plans must be made on a consistent and reliable basis. This supply would be most efficient with your help.
