My Project

I work in a lower level school district. I teach the most entertaining 3rd graders. They are smart, funny, athletic, caring and heartfelt. They have went through a lot. My students often don't come to school prepared and I often have to supply them with materials to be successful.

Basic materials such as pencils, scissors, or glue are simple things to most people but to these students it's the last thing they think about.

As there teacher, I don't want them to add the stress of a simple pencil to their list of things to worry about. Having extra supply of materials will really help those students be more successful because they won't have to worry about finding one. It will always be given to them.

Grades 3-5
