Setting Up: Preparing My New Classroom

The Description

As some of you may know, I am a 2019 Teach For America Corps Member placed in San Antonio, Texas.  I will be entering my first year of teaching in just a couple weeks, and am needing to supply the classroom with the essentials!  One of the biggest hurdles that my students at Jefferson High School will face is the lack of necessary materials that are needed for daily success. 

To get the year started off right, I will use these funds to purchase necessary supplies that will welcome my students into a fully stocked classroom.  Having pens, pencils, notebooks, paper, etc. will give these students access to supplies that they may not otherwise have.  

Thank you so much for your generosity!

Here is a list of supplies that I plan on buying with these funds:

  • Composition Notebooks
  • Pencils
  • Multicolored ballpoint pens
  • Lined paper
  • Graph paper (for my AP Macro Economics courses!)
  • 3-Hole punch
  • Whiteboard markers
  • Individual whiteboard markers
  • 2-3 Staplers with staples
  • Paper clips
  • Binder clips
  • Index cards
  • Sticky notes
  • Plastic or wire bins (for assignments)
  • Kleenex
  • Hand Sanitizer
  • Disinfectant Wipes

 

Back Up Plan

If I do not reach my goal, I plan to buy the absolute necessities: pens and notebooks for my students who do not have them, kleenex, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, staplers and staples, bins for assignments, graph paper, and lined paper.
