Paper for Performance

The Description

With these funds I will purchase the much needed copy paper that is hard to come by. We are a Title 1 charter school and we recieve 30% less funding than average public schools. Our students are low on the spectrum but we need to and can get them back up there. They need the support and to be able to show their work. They progress when they are given work that stimulates their minds. We have many digital resources available to help us, but in order to use many of them we must print them out. Our whole 3rd grade team is down to the bottom of the barrel right now. We each probably have barely a ream or two left, which probably will not last until the end of this month. The resources that would benefit them require much more than we have. I could assure you that not a single paper would be wasted.

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal I will purchase continue to strive as hard as I can for my students even if that means dipping into my own pocket which I've been doing most of the year. It's a strain, but I want and need them to achieve their goals.

About the Creator

I'm a 3rd grade homeroom teacher in Florida, and I will be teaching at a charter school which receives 30% less funding than normal public schools. The children that I will be teaching come from diverse backgrounds. Most of the children that I will be teaching also come from very low-income families and do not have the resources at home for a proper education. I know I will have many students who will not be able to afford the basics. So, as a teacher in the US, you know where those basics will be coming from. Yep, that’s right, my own pocket. I want to make sure that my students have the proper resources at home and in their classroom. Since they come from diverse backgrounds, I also want them to have resources that represent them as well. I want them to have the resources to fuel their imaginations and creativity. I want them to want to learn and always question why and how and try to figure it out for themselves.

If you could help out at all I would be very appreciative. I want my children to have the resources they need and that will help them grow. Many of these kids have a high likely hood of never graduating high school let alone alone getting into college. I want to be the teacher that pushes them forward. I don’t want them to end up being just another statistic.

Thank you for any and all help!
