My Project

I am requesting a foundational skills game bundle, a CD cassette player, storage seat sacks, and headphones. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them a chance to focus on their learning.

Headphones will help them to focus on the lessons instead of what is going on around them.

The cassette and CD player will support the non and poor readers to read better. The chair organizer will keep their books and papers in order because they sit at a table and have no lockers. These will be extremely beneficial for the students to keep their areas sanitized and clean.

I have seen how choice can positively affect my students' work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
