My Students

My students come from a low-income area and low socioeconomic backgrounds. One hundred percent qualify for free breakfast and lunch. We lack many everyday school supplies, and many of the parents cannot afford to buy their children pencils, folders, and other essential supplies for school.

Many of my students come from low-income households.

Eighty-five percent of the students are English Language Learners, so many do not receive much help at home due to language. The teachers at our school are mentors to the children. We want all our students to succeed. The school provides a caring and warm environment to learn.

My Project

My students get excited to receive the essential classroom materials to have for themselves. It makes them feel happy and want to do the required class work and homework. Having the materials such as pencils, laminate pouches, tape, report envelopes and erasers are materials necessary for learning. I usually get new students throughout the year, so the extra school to home organizers will be available to the new students. We use our laminator often, so laminate pouches are much needed. The clipboard is used in the classroom during writing and when students go to the garden and write. We sharpen pencils everyday, so we are in need of a new working pencil sharpener. I want to keep our classroom nice and clean and that's why i put Disinfectant spray to clean all the germs and keep my students in school healthy and ready to learn.
