My Students

To my students, nothing is cooler than being able to write on the whiteboard! My students get the most excited about showing me what they've learned when they get to do it on their individual whiteboards.

I teach fifth and sixth grade science in a low-income school in Louisiana.

I teach at a charter school whose aim is to empower students to live happy, healthy lives with unlimited possibility. With our extended school year and hard-working teachers,we are committed to making our students reach their maximum potential. Our students are brilliant and they deserve the best resources to prove it.

My Project

In order to better engage my students, I bought mini whiteboards so my students can answer questions and play educational games. They have revolutionized the way my students learn. They look forward to answering questions and playing jeopardy and scholar/scribe review games for a chance to get to use them. For many of my students, buying white board markers to use with their mini whiteboards would cause a financial hardship, as many of them experience difficulties obtaining basic school supplies. You can help this not become an obstacle in the way of my students' learning. I am asking for 8 packs of white board markers to help my students use their mini whiteboards. This would ensure that there are enough markers for all my students to use for the year.

By donating to my students, you will be supplying them with a resource that they would not be able to obtain otherwise.

You will be ensuring that my students continue to be excited about demonstrating their knowledge with their whiteboards and whiteboard markers! Thank you!
