My Project
Most of my students receive free lunch because their parent or guardians has an income below the state poverty level. Since many students have difficulties with purchasing materials needed for class, I continue to share pens with students.
I want to provide my students with pens and other paper supplies in each class and at home to complete assignments.
Students who are not on my roster also know that they can ask me for whatever they need. If I have it, then they can get it. Therefore, my classes will use supplies in their personal area in each class.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
