My Project

Please support my U.S. History and Civics students by helping me purchase basic school supplies, including pencils, paper, and headphones. My students will use pencils and paper to sharpen their reading comprehension skills. My students prefer using physical materials in their learning over computers. And research shows they learn more through handwriting than typing.

We use headphones to watch instructional videos and listen to music while studying.

Most students don't come to school with headphones, and having a class set available will be very helpful for them. Thank you for donating to my project!
