My Project

The specific items I'm requesting will help equip my class with the necessary supplies to make them a successful student during the year. Many items will be used in their content areas to complete tasks and store valuable resources. My goals are to be able to equip those students who are less fortunate to be able to purchase necessary school supplies. I want all of my students to be able to participate in all classroom assignments having the necessary materials. These items will help me provide those who don't have them. My students are special because a high percentage of my class comes from poverty situations. By having these supplies provided to them they don't have to worry about getting their supplies, they can focus on learning.
