My Students

My students are the hardest working students in our school. Their determination and toughness are a perfect example of how the next generation is going to be a golden age of society. They show great respect and honesty to all of the teachers in the school and they want each other to be successful inside and outside the classroom. They also show leadership and are great students and are learning as much as possible during the school day. They are not letting anything stop them from being successful in class. Other teachers have also noticed how determined my students are and other students are following their lead.

My Project

This project will keep my students organized with supplies they just received. It will also limit any distractions that may occur throughout the school day. It also gives them additional snacks which help them stay focused during the school day. It would give my students additional supplies such as notebooks and pencils to help them throughout the remainder of the school year. These supplies would also stay in the classroom and can be used for future students which would not only benefit the current students in the classroom but future students in the classroom as well.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
