My Project

Students need proper materials for school along with supplies to help them with organizational skills. With our new desks, students do not have a space to put their materials, the pencil pouches will be attached to their chairs with a clip. And the notebooks will help in our reading and writing class, as each child will have a notebook to share their thoughts and writings.

These materials and organizational skills will help my students in the classroom and beyond.

Having materials is important, but having a place to have them near is just as important.
