Classroom Wishlists for Low Income School
Hey everyone, I'm a first year English teacher at a Title I school in a rural area of Utah. Title I means that more than 1/3 of our student population lives in poverty and/or is otherwise economically disadvantaged. We have a racially diverse student body - many of my students are the children of immigrants, and almost 40% of our students have a documented disability of some kind. Because of the way that Utah funds schools, we do not have a lot of funding for individual classrooms and curriculum. We have school resources for our students, but it's difficult to have classroom resources to meet every student's needs.
My school teaches grades 7-12, and I teach all of the 8th graders and all of the 11th graders.
I have two Wishlists for my classroom. The first is general supplies and decorations - highlighters, whiteboards and erasers, fidget toys, incentives/awards for games, instructional books, etc. The second wishlist is books - YA novels of all genres, nonfiction books, classic novels, poetry, all kinds of books that will go in my classroom as a resource for students. I try to have a classroom library that reflects the diversity of the students I teach.
If you can order anything off either of these lists, it'll help me provide the best resources for my students and to have fewer things to worry about as I teach. If you can't buy anything, please reblog this post so that others may see it!
