My Project

The items I am requesting make a difference in my students' learning because certain supplies, even the most basic, can make or break a students experience! Some students may even need to take the supplies home personally because they may not have access to it at home.

My goals for this project is to adequately meet my students' needs in their learning environment.

With various supplies such as pencils, specific types of pens, and dry erase markers are used almost daily in our classroom! With that, we also need to maintain the care of our supplies by having functioning sharpeners that don't break apart within the school year.

What makes my students special is that they deserve nothing but the best if we are able to provide that for them. Schools are always in need of supplies and so this is one way to help meet the students' needs.
