My Project
My students are extremely excited to come to school every day and are very motivated to learn. Giving them the materials and supplies they need on the first day of school is always a priority for me.
Many of my students are unable to bring school supplies on the first day of school.
Binders are so important to help stay organized. These binders will be used to organize their notes, assignments and other important things for literacy class. Being organized will help them not only this year, but throughout their educational experience. Organization has been a struggle in the past for my students. Starting the year off with these binders will help in creating a smooth literacy class. The school year is so much more successful for students when they are organized.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
