My Project

I am just beginning my teaching journey, but I already know a lot of the students. They are smart, inquisitive, funny, and amazing human beings. As a first-year Special Education teacher, I want to be able to start off the school year right. Being able to have supplies such as binders, folders, expo markers, and notebooks for students will support their learning with essential supplies.

These students deserve to have every available resource at their fingertips to help them be successful.

Being sure that my students are prepared to learn is a goal that I have set. This project will help me reach that goal.
