Building The Foundation: Startup Classroom Supplies

The Description

As a teacher I am responsible for my very own classroom! I engage daily with my students and their families, and it is my responsibility to ensure that my classroom is a welcoming environment for everyone. One of the biggest challenges is making sure that all of my students have the materials they need to participate in class daily. This is especially important at the beginning of the school year, when we set the tone for how important it is for everyone to be a part of our classroom community.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the supplies needed to welcome my students back to their 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.

Every dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference in our classroom. As always, I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my 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:

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.

About the Creator

Hello friends, family and educational advocates! If I haven't gotten the opportunity to meet you, I would love to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tatum Hammond. I was born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona and recently graduated from the University of Arizona (Bear Down and EV)! Last year I moved to Dallas, Texas to work for Teach for America! I teach 7th grade reading and writing at The Young Men's Leadership Academy at Fred F. Florence Middle School. During this time I am also pursuing a masters degree in Education from Southern Methodist University. I am extremely excited to continue this adventure and cannot wait for the school year to begin! Being that Teach for America focuses on providing an excellent education in low-income communities that often times do not receive what should be an equitable opportunity; my classroom is in need of a few things. If you are able to help me in providing for my students, any support would be extremely appreciated and valued (It is tax deductible!) Anything you can do to help me spread the word to continue raising awareness and support would be so wonderful and greatly appreciated! Thank you for all of your support, advice, and love throughout this journey so far!

In case you would like to hear more, below is an additional blurb about Teach for America and the journey I am embarking on:
I am excited to be a part of the TFA family and join the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I'm fortunate enough to be selected from a nationwide talent applicant pool to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools.
