"The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind." - Maria Montessori
Each morning many students enter school without having their basic needs being met. Let's change that by providing them with some of life's essentials.
I have 19 wonderful students who happen to come from low income families.
Many families are homeless, living in shelters and hotels while others live in low-income housing. With limited financial resources, students lack supplies to properly follow daily hygiene routines.
My Project
Students enjoy the use of our classroom hygiene products. However, they are in need of their own personal supply-pack to use at home. My students are distracted by the odor that invades our classroom. I will use the materials (deodorant, soap, lotion, etc.) in conjunction with the hygiene lessons from the school counselor to help promote students being their healthiest and happiest self!
Providing my students with life essentials will help to improve students' self-esteem.
No longer will students feel ashamed of their body odor or appearance. These supplies will help show my students that people care about not only their learning but also their personal wellbeing.
