The Description
With these funds I will help build up my classroom experience for my students. It's my first year teaching and I have a blank slate of a classroom that I want to organize and create. I want to raise money for school supplies as well as to decorate my classroom with educational posters, colors, reading charts, logos, and of course having access to a lot of reading materials.
Back Up Plan
If we do not reach our goal I will purchase most of these things with my salary but I'm positive that I will get the support needed from my community and friends.
About the Creator
Having grown up in the suburbs of New York city, I was privileged in receiving support from my mentor teachers, parents, and community. I always felt loved and cared for and thus had the moral/emotional support to believe in myself and go to college. Nevertheless, I've come to realize that not every child in our country has those opportunities because of their personal circumstances and the zip code they were born into. For that reason I decided to join Teach For America after graduating from Binghamton University in New York State to make an impact and give back to my community. In doing so, I recently moved to Texas and accepted a position as a 5th grade Bilingual teacher. I hope my personal experiences as well as training and education will allow me to expand more opportunities for my children, just like others did for me growing up.
