For Good.

The Description

As some of you know, in less than a month, I will be stepping into the classroom with a bunch of cute little third graders as my time with Teach For America continues. I can’t wait to meet my kiddos and their families. I want so badly to be the teacher they both deserve.  

I will be working at BakerRipley, a school in the Gulfton area of Houston which serves an incredibly diverse population (it is characterized by its large refugee population)! My kids specifically will be all English Language Learners but since they come from all over the world, they will bring in a number of languages into the classroom.

To be the best teacher I can be, I will need to make my classroom an environment where kids WANT to and CAN learn. For English language learners especially, visuals placed all over my room and specialized materials are in high need. I plan to buy these materials with my own funds since they are so specialized (I need to figure out what will work best for my students after I meet them), but I could really use some help with the ‘essential’ materials for my classroom. That is what I’m asking for your help with.

Please trust me when I say that what is happening at BakerRipley and in the Gulfton community is BEAUTIFUL. These kids (and this community) deserve the world. From the short time I have spent there, I can tell the community flourishes through passion, love, and diversity. I cannot wait to join the community and be a part of that movement.

To do this, I am asking for your help. The cost of supplies is very high. With your donations (however big or small) I will be able to stock my room up with materials and be ready for my kids when they walk into school on the first day.

Thank you so much in advance for supporting my kids, BakerRipley, Teach For America, the Gulfton community, and of course, me. I can’t wait to continue sharing the changes I see in the community and the funny things that happen in class with my little ones.

Here is a complete list of the materials that your generous investment will help provide for the students of my very first classroom.

Below is a complete list of the materials I will buy for my very first classroom (eek!) thanks to your generosity:

 

Back Up Plan

If we do not reach our goal I will purchase whatever materials I can, starting with the most essential ones (e.g. Anchor Chart paper). I might not be able to have my classroom stock full by the first day, but I will try to stock up my classroom throughout the year if that is the case.
