My Project

Our middle school class is currently in need of a few essential items to enhance our learning experience. We kindly request your support in acquiring the following items:

Pencils: We are running low on pencils and would greatly appreciate any donations to keep our students equipped for their daily work.

Pencil sharpeners: We are in need of pencil sharpeners to ensure that our students always have sharp pencils ready for their assignments.

Games for learning and building English Language Arts skills: We believe that interactive games can greatly enhance our students' English Language Arts skills. If you have any educational games that focus on reading, writing, grammar, or vocabulary, your contributions would be highly valued.

Games for learning how to socialize with respect: Social skills are essential for our students' personal and academic growth. If you have any games that promote respectful socialization, cooperation, and empathy, we would greatly appreciate your support in providing these resources.

Headphones for independent practice: Individual headphones can greatly facilitate independent practice sessions in our class. If you have any spare headphones that you are willing to donate, our students would greatly benefit from them.

Tools for students who are overstimulated: Some students may require special tools to help them manage overstimulation in the classroom. If you have any resources such as fidget toys, stress balls, or other sensory tools, your assistance in providing these items would be greatly appreciated.

We understand that times are challenging, but any help you can offer to deepen our students' learning experience would be highly valued. Together, we can ensure that our middle school students have access to the necessary tools for a successful academic journey.

Thank you for your support!
