My Project

My students are a wonderful group at a Title 1 school. Unfortunately, there are some basic supplies that families cannot afford I have spent money on providing pencils, binders, paper, and even lunch. This project will help students have the facilities in school for a productive day.

Items such as the wobble chairs, calculator holders, and Thoughtful Cards will help establish a productive environment for my students during class time.

The microwave and refrigerator will help students during lunch periods to make sure they have a place to store their food. Often during lunch, I need to give students instant noodles so they can heat it up.
