The use of common supplies is almost a daily activity in my math classroom. Using the workshop model in math, students express themselves with whiteboards for guided practice and to record modeled strategies. The whiteboards allow me to see exactly what they are doing, as well as provide an easy place for them to show and share their work. What becomes a problem is the fact that the paper and pencil never seem to last, erasers seem to disappear, and the whiteboards slowly become stained from frequent use. When something goes unavailable, students tends to stop working and are shy to even ask for supplies like eraser, pencil and paper. Even though they are great about doing this, it is distracting for many of my students who have focusing issues and they miss important instruction form either myself or other students. By having supplies available on hand, students will be able to avoid all of these problems and focus on increasing their learning! By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether their materials are going out or not.
