My Project

After 34 years, my commitment to students in Milwaukee Public Schools with special educational needs is thriving. However, our supplies and classroom materials are not! My students have varying abilities, great potential, and a huge desire to learn! However, these same students don't always have the materials, opportunities, and skills to remain organized. When funding our project, you will have a vital role in providing our future with the particulars, circumstances and competence to collocate their knowledge with their written work!

An organized classroom with accessible materials can assist my students to find supplies easily, complete tasks more efficiently, minimize loss of learning locating needed materials, be prepared to study, and build personal responsibility for their wares and their learning!

According to a Reference website, "Organization is important because it allows individuals and groups to perform tasks more efficiently. It helps people find information and items faster, and it allows groups to work together without wasting time. Organization is important for dealing with information as well." In every aspect of life, the more organization and efficiency we have, the stronger the systems we have in place, the more consistency and achievement we will attain." A simple solution of carts, folders, and highlighters will support a complex organizational need of my students and their future educational challenges.
