My Project

I work in a low-income district where our budget has been completely cut. They come from difficult home lives where they look at school as their safe place. Having simple needs such as notebooks, ink, tape, headphones, and ear buds will help my special education students really succeed in my classroom. My special education students learn best when they have hands-on activities. Having these school supplies will allow them to be successful and learn in the best way for them. Having these supplies will make all the difference in the world.
