My Project

Starting off the school year with the necessary supplies and materials helps set the tone and expectation for student success. These school supplies will help ease the burden on my students' families by helping to provide school supplies that any classroom should have, so they don't have to purchase supplies themselves. The supplies in this project will provide my students with the materials that are necessary for the day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our Spanish class. I am requesting items that are truly "the basics": pens and pencils, highlighters, paper towels, sanitizing wipes, bandages and personal dry erase boards.

By having these supplies ready for my students on Day 1, I hope that they feel prepared and motivated to put their best foot forward to maximize their potential and achievement, not just in my class-- but in all of them.

This small gesture is also designed to show students how anxiously I have been anticipating their arrival to prepare for them. Students need to feel that teachers care, whether in preschool or high school. This project demonstrates our investment in student success.
