My Project

My students need some basic supplies - the bare necessities - in order to be successful each day. We routinely provide the materials for our students, but after much wear and tear, the items need replaced.

These items will help my students work on projects and practice to be successful in class each day with by having some materials like pencils and headphones.

Much of our learning is blended so it's on both paper and digital. Students use headphones to listen to interactive lessons and audiobooks on their laptops, but they also need paper and pencils to learn and work at other stations too.
