My Project

Like any classroom, there is basic materials needed to support students learning and engagement. My list is certainly nothing special as it includes basics such as pens, pencils, and expo markers, but having them goes a long way. As we have recently gone through extreme budget cuts, more of these supplies are coming out of my own pocket.

By helping me purchase these items, you'll be taking a weight off my shoulders for next year and ensuring I have enough materials to work with my students for all of our lessons.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
