that time of year where i have to start begging

Is there any better way to learn than by interacting with the material you're being taught? I'm a 6th and 7th grade teacher of Language Arts and US History. We are a high-poverty school serving at-risk youth. My children come to school ready to learn, but are often set up for failure from day one. Without their basic school supply needs being met, they can't truly excel in their studies.

If you feel compelled to help, any small donation is appreciated. There are two ways you can help fund my classroom

Through "Adopt a Classroom" or DonorsChoose.

Thank you!
