My Project

I am hoping to give my students an area to read and build a love of learning. The items I am requesting will help to organize our classroom library and learning area. We are a title one school and many of our students don't have basic items like food and clothing. By creating a classroom that is well organized and also provides students with snacks, I am hoping that they will not go hungry and will grow a love of learning. This year, I looped up with 14 of my same students from Kindergarten, so it helps me to understand the home environment and what items they need to ensure their success.
