can you help me rebuild my classroom [View all]

https://www.gofundme.com/26wffbg#

For the last 5 years, I had been teaching in a setting that did not allow for hands on project based learning. Due to Sam Brownback and his hatred toward Kansas schools, my former program -which did such good for my students-was closed. Since my program was closed, I was placed into a middle school US History class needing to start all over.


i will need everything from binders, spiral notebooks, index cards, paper light, white to many colors, construction paper to poster board colored pencils, crayons, markers, glue sticks, tape, lots of it, scotch and packing tape, clear shelf liner to protect student's work. Then i will need supplies to display the finished products. Yarn, string, lightweight fishing twine , kite string, and a whole host of endless supplies.

any help would be wonderful.

if you feel so inclined.

thank you

A much better attitude IMO than the advice above. Keep teaching creatively from the heart! Person 2713 May 2016 #8
