We're On Empty, Fill Us Up Please!

My students need basic supplies such as pencils, paper, and new folders. We receive supplies at the beginning of the year, but it is so hard to get supplies after that.

My Students

A typical day in my classroom starts with them speaking to me and then "Ms. B can I borrow a pencil?" Of course I never turn them down or fuss at them. Having a class full of supplies whenever you need them can make a day go much smoother and students feel prepared and ready to work.

My third graders are survivors!

They leave whatever home situations they are dealing with and come to my class feeling safe, excited, and happy. They are students who want to learn and they believe in showing growth with their learning. My school is an evolving school with a new principal who is excited about changing the culture of our school and community . We have new programs in place and we are trying to restructure the attitudes of the students, parents, and even some teachers. Attendance has improved so much since last year and that is because students want to come to school because they do not want to miss computer time, group projects, or even test because if they meet their goal they are rewarded with a bead bracelet. So, having supplies in place keeps the learning going without excuses.

My Project

The materials I have requested will be used on a daily basis and will last for the rest of the school year. The chart paper and markers will make their group projects even more creative to hang around the room. Having numerous pencils and erasers will cut out arguments over who took what. We love to create foldables of all sorts and having construction paper, scissors, and glue will make the process easier and faster because we would not have to wait on one group to finish.

By providing the donations I have asked for will again make our classroom run smoother and better.

Students will not feel embarrassed about not having supplies that other students can easily get. This project will make a difference because when they see those boxes arrive full of supplies for them, they will be thankful that someone cares about them and cares for their education. I can only imagine what they will say in their thank you letters.
