My Students

My students are very creative and hardworking. They enjoy using technology and experimenting with hands-on activities and projects. Many of my students come from low-income families. They are unable to get the support and resources that they need.

My students love using resources to enhance their learning, however our school has limited resources.

My students would benefit from using technology and resources that will keep them engaged during academics sessions. As a teacher, I try to provide the most that I can for my students.

My Project

My students lack basic classroom supplies. We are a Title I school, and my students can accomplish much more if they has the basic supplies.

Supplies will increase engagement and motivation from my students.

They enjoy using dry erase markers to show their work in groups. They do not have a sharpener to sharpen their pencil, therefore they are always looking for pencils, which takes away time from instruction. Pencils are needed to keep students focused and on task. My students love motivation, therefore a stamp will go a far way. Drawing is also a favorite in my classroom. Construction paper will allow my students to be creative.
