My Project

When students are trying to learn and discover, they should not have to worry about acquiring school supplies. While some students have the means to purchase their own quality supplies, many students do not and are afraid to ask. When this happens, students will try to make do with inadequate supplies and their learning can suffer.

To ensure that my students are focused on learning, I am requesting essential supplies for each student and for the classroom so that each student feels they have everything they need to focus on the discovery and learning process.

Cases, pencils, pens, and highlighters will ensure that each student has quality materials for use in the classroom and at home. Post-It Notes & tabs, and tape will help enhance learning and organization. Notebooks will ensure that each and every student can get started in class on day 1! Supplies like tissues and calculators are essential to have as part of the classroom.

With your support students will not have to worry about how or where they are getting supplies for school. They will be able to focus on discovery, building skills and making meaningful connections.
