My Project

Giving the students the supplies they need to learn is critical! Students will be able to simply focus on the academic material at hand, and not whether or not they have the tools needed to do it. Most kids come with little to no supplies. Giving all the kids the same learning tools puts them all on the same playing field. They can focus on the teaching of the lesson and the academics at hand instead of worrying about supplies they may need. It gives a sense of responsibility to take care of their own things as well!
