Building The Foundation: Startup Classroom Supplies

The Description

After completing Teach for America’s - 2018 Greater-nashville Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! I can't wait to decorate and meet my students and their families. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the startup supplies needed to welcome my students to a classroom that is clean and stocked full with materials. This will allow me to provide the required supplies to students that otherwise would not have them. I will also purchase copy paper to ensure that I can provide my students with high quality learning materials, whether that is exit tickets, independent activities, or homework. Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and my students at the beginning of this exciting journey.

very dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my first year. I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my first group of students and letting them know that they have a community that supports them both near and far will definitely get us on the right track. Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my very first classroom:

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal, I will purchase as many materials as possible. I will prioritize the materials that are most essential to students (pencils, paper, etc.) as they are the most important to ensuring that students can participate in daily lessons.

I'm so excited to be a part of the TFA Nashville family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country by providing students with a quality education.

This summer I am participating in "Summer Academy," an intensive skill and knowledge development program for Metro Nashville Public School students, and also attending professional development programs including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content learning.

Next year, I will be teaching 8th Grade Science at Brick Church College Prep, a middle school in North Nashville. I am incredibly excited to serve my students, and I know I have so much learning to do throughout this process.

As a first year teacher, I am looking forward to fostering a creative, safe, and accessible classroom for all my students; to do this, I plan to decorate my room, provide students with necessary materials, and make sure that a lack of resources is never a barrier to my students' learning.

If you would like to support me, please feel free to donate through PledgeCents so that I can transform my classroom into a quality learning environment.
If you would like to give your support but do not want to be tethered to the $25 increments that PledgeCents provides, please feel free to send your support to my Venmo account, @Maddy-Turner.

Everything donated will be used to create a learning environment suited to my students' needs. Thank you so much. :)
