My Project

Students need supplies to complete work, and most times they tell me parents don’t have money to get everything they need. I really want to be more prepared for when my class needs supplies, we have them in my classroom. Students love snacks. It gives them motivation and they look at it as if they are being rewarded. Snacks can help students who don’t necessarily receive them at home but when arriving at school it will be more than enough in class.

I want to be the change I wish to see.
