Mr. Egg's Classroom Supplies (2018)

The Description

After completing Teach for America’s - 2018 Chicago Institute I will be responsible for my very own classroom! I can't wait to decorate and meet my students and their families. One of the biggest hurdles that students in high need schools face is a lack of the necessary materials that are needed daily. It makes it infinitely more difficult for students to take part in activities and classwork when they do not have basic supplies.

To get the year started off right, I will use the funds that I raise to purchase the startup supplies needed to welcome my students to a classroom that is clean and stocked full of 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. Thank you so much in advance for supporting me and my students at the beginning of this exciting journey.

Every dollar I receive will be put towards classroom supplies so anything you can contribute really will make a difference for my first year. I want to make a great impression and a lasting impact on my first 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 for the students of my very first classroom:

 

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 ensure that students can participate in daily lessons.

Update 1 (7-12-2018)

July 12, 2018

Hello friends, family, and fellow community members! 

As many of you may know, I've always been committed to the goal of social justice and making the world a more place where anyone can be anything if they put their mind to it. Instead of playing the game of politics, I've been honored to join Teach for America. Over this summer, I have been participating in an intensive skill and knowledge development program aiming to increase student achievement as well as a comprehensive professional development program including seminars, discussion groups, workshops, and content and professional learning communities specific to teaching license areas.

I'm going to be a first-year educator in the city of Chicago. I will be teaching Diverse Learning/Special Education at Garcia High School in Northwest Chicago, serving a diverse community of students and preparing them for their post-high school plans! I'm beyond excited and ready to empower and make positive change with these kids. Help me by joining the movement to solve education inequity in this country and provide all students with a quality education. I am fortunate enough to join a teacher corps comprised of leaders who commit a minimum of two years to teach in high need public schools. 

If you have any questions or want more information, please do not hestiate to reach out to me!

THANK YOU!
