My Students

My students are eager to learn, but unfortunately, they do not have the full support to be able to thrive. They go through dramatic events both at home and school but they are special in their own way. My students are in an urban, city neighborhood. The school is a tier one school with a lot of the students having issues with their academics.

My Project

These materials that are for this project will help my students maintain as they still go through every day lessons. They will be able to have different colors to illustrate with the dry erase markers and we’re doing math lessons. They will be able to keep their pencils and other materials inside of the pencil boxes. We will be able to maintain a safe and healthy environment every day by having wipes and mask and tissues since the winter time is approaching and cold season is approaching as well. These materials for this project helps with all of the above reasons.
