My Project

This project aims to provide students with essential basic supplies to help them remain organized throughout the day. It's important that they have access to basic materials like glue, pencils, markers, and crayons to enhance their learning experiences.

We want to promote engagement and encourage success in various fields like reading, writing, mathematics, and science by providing these materials.

We know that some students may struggle to bring supplies regularly, so this project is crucial to their success. With the resources provided, my class will have some of the things they need to showcase their learning through writing and other creative activities. We're here to support the students and ensure they have the necessary tools to succeed.
