My Project

My students are amazing little learners. They come to school each day ready to give their best effort. Giving my students school basics such as headphones, pencils, and calming poppers will help them gain a fresh start in the new year.

My students also need some incentives throughout the year which I’ve included in this project.

The bookmarks, pencils, and poppers will keep the children motivated to learn. With online learning programs, the headphones will provide much-needed noise canceling so they can focus on the task at hand.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
