Help Give My Students What They Need To Succeed!

Help me give my students the materials they need to be successful! We need headphones for the computer programs we need and many come to school without them.

My Project

We have the best students! They live in a high poverty area and are not always able to come to school with the items that they need. We have several educational computer programs that we use for our students. They need headphones to be able to listen to it privately. Most of my students can not afford reliable headphones, so I provide them. The ones I bought 5 years ago are breaking fast!

My goal is to provide students with the tools they need to be successful in school!

One thing my students use a lot that I often need to provide for them is colored pencils and glue sticks. We use them almost daily so they go fast! The folders I requested help keep them organized. We use different colors for different subjects to keep our papers from getting lost! We also laminate our writing projects. They are proud of what they have done and I laminate them so they can have them for years to come!
