Supplying The Future: Back To School Materials

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.

PledgeCents allows me to keep whatever I raise, 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

I am a fifth grade teacher in Greenville, Pennsylvania. I teach in a self-contained classroom, so I am able to integrate subject areas and integrate technology into my subject matter. Due to grant writing and participating in a variety of contests, my class has fourteen iPads, a green screen setup, and at least one laptop or desktop for each student in the classroom.

Each year, my classroom gives itself a name the first day of school. The class takes on that name persona and that is who we are for the year. We have a class website, blog, you tube channel, twitter account, and more. The blog is written from the point of view of our class mascot. In the beginning of the year we form a class government by following the true election process as closely as possible. Our class president is elected on election day.

Our class chooses some kind of service learning project to work on for the year and it becomes a part of our curriculum. One year we took on a neighboring corporation that refused to clean up the hazardous waste they left behind when they took their plant to Mexico. One year they honored all of the senior citizens who gave back to the community and gave them a senior citizen extravaganza. One year they started a talk show about autism and another they started one about bullying. If you would like to learn more about my class and my former classes, go to jabernethy.com The former classes can be found in the lower left hand corner of the site.

The reason I teach is because I want to make a difference and I want my students to make a difference.
