My Students

My students consist of 12 Special ed students, 8 boys and 4 girls. I am looking for tools in-order to build the strongest foundation possible for them. I have a variety of students who come from well diverse backgrounds.

My students come to school with an amazing attitude and excited to learn, however are often lacking the essential tools needed to have a successful learning experience.

Their eagerness to learn is what drives me to create projects that I know will help them be successful in the future.

My Project

We all need basic supplies for the classroom. Pencils, dry erase markers, crayons and more. I have supported my classroom so far and I am running out of money, However my kids still need more. I am writing this proposal so they will be able to have the simplest of materials that their families nor can I afford at this time, any help will be greatly appreciated as well as desperately needed.

My students come from an area which is in dire need of financial help and can not afford to buy supplies.
