Building The Foundation: Startup Classroom Supplies
$770

The Description
After completing Teach for America’s - 2019 Philadelphia 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.
Every 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:

About the Creator
In my journey to becoming a teacher, I have become increasingly more devoted to joining the movement to solve educational inequity in this country. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been selected from a nationwide applicant pool to join Teach For America as a secondary English teacher. This organization is comprised of leaders who teach for a minimum of two years in high need public schools. This summer, I am participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement, as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas. While I still don't know for sure where I'll be teaching and what grade, I can't wait for my first year in the classroom with Teach For America in Baltimore, Maryland.
