My Project

The items that I am requesting will make a difference in my students' learning because they will allow them to be comfortable when working. My goals for this project are to help students work to their maximum potential and this will do just that! My students are so special because being in a low-income district, we don't have many funds, but they still work so hard every single day! Every single day my students put in their best effort and I want to make sure I continue to allow them to do so, by making them as comfortable as possible in my classroom. The priority is CSDE Social, Emotional, and Mental health for my students.
