My Project

My student need supplies to help get organized and fully engaged with the material in the classroom. Flex seating, consistent access to resources, as well as access to materials for enriching lessons will help! Being able to organize all of their materials in one place individually will help cut down on negative classroom culture and increase time efficiency-something we all need these days when 60 minutes never seems enough! I want to help break down as many barriers to education as I can to help benefit my students the most.
