My Project

School supplies are an essential part of any classroom and student learning. Thinking ahead to the new school year, I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies. Many students begin the school year with no school supplies and these basics will help to set them up for success.

These supplies will help ease the burden on my students' families by helping to provide school supplies for our classroom.

Many families can not afford school supplies. It can be difficult for students who are not able to come to school with new supplies like their peers. I want all my students to start on an equal footing by providing basic school supplies that everyone needs in my classroom. I will be using these supplies, such as the glue sticks, pencils, highlighters, expo markers and post it notes, to put together individual toolkits for each of my students so they have their own set of supplies they can use daily. The Mr. Sketch markers will be used by me to create classroom charts and learning resources that students can reference each day. I believe that providing my students with the necessary school supplies to be successful students is a great way to start their school experience.
