My Project

My students are amazing. We are in a Title I school where all students are offered free breakfast and lunch. Many of them want to be entrepreneurs and start their own businesses. We work together to learn how to market ourselves and our products. In order to be successful, I ensure that my classroom stays stocked with supplies for them. With a properly stocked and loving classroom, students will increase their buy-in of the curriculum and raise confidence in their academic skills. Part of the supplies I use are games and tools to make our students think outside of a notebook or laptop screen. I am hoping to organize my games and dry erase boards with the storage, include a new employment game for real-life skills, and the prize drop to incentivize students to go beyond the ordinary. This will definitely be a morale boost to my students and is teaching them ways to become leaders. Thank you for considering helping my Title I students. I promise they’re worth it.
