My Project

Addressing the basic needs of students is essential for creating an environment conducive to learning and overall well-being. Students come from a wide range of experiences and situations that determine how they react to classroom activities and classroom management procedures. By addressing their basic needs, students can succeed in the classroom.

With you help our students will be able to use the pencils and pocket folders for classroom learning and organization.

Meeting the basic educational needs of students involves several strategies and considerations. My students will use the headphones and earbuds to help meet their IEP goals with books that provide text to talk features. My students will use the tissues and hand wipes for personal care. The printer ink is used to print students lecture notes, typed essays, and their Individual Educational Plans (IEPs).

Fostering a positive and supportive school culture, where students feel valued, respected and supported is crucial. We can use your help to provide the basic needs for our students.

Mrs. Murphy
Grades 9-12
