Just the Basics, Please!

Help me give my students the basic supplies to be successful every day. We do a lot of reading, annotating, and highlighting. That means a lot of copies, highlighters, colored pencils, and regular pencils.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In a high school English class, basic materials such as pencils, highlighters, colored pencils, and printer paper are the most important supplies. These materials are essential for taking notes, completing assignments, and participating in class activities. However, not every student can afford these supplies. It is important for teachers and schools to be aware of this and provide support to students who may not have access to these materials.

We need help providing extra supplies in the classroom for students who may not have access to them.

Not every student can afford these supplies, so it is important for everyone to provide support and resources to ensure that all students have access to these materials. By doing so, we can create an inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students.
