My Project

My goal is to help the students enhance their knowledge and engagement in the classroom. I want them to feel safe, and comfortable, along with having the adequate supplies needed to complete all work in my classroom.

My children are very special, but come from low income families where supplies are not high on their list of things to afford.

These children are very eager to learn new things and to complete their daily tasks in my classroom. Many of the students don't have the means of getting the materials needed to complete their work, which sets them back. I am wanting to create a safe and comfortable, engaging area for the students to enhance their knowledge.
