My Project

I plan to use these supplies to help my students start their year off strong with all the materials they will need to be successful. Being a Title I school many of my students come to school without their basic supplies.

Many of my students need a lot of help with their social/emotional learning, and by providing them with games they will continue to learn about sportsmanship, taking turns, and being kind to each other.

Being a Title I school we also do not provide snacks for the kids at school. As you can imagine being in school all day and sometimes only having one meal a day can cause kids to not be focused on learning. These snacks will help them get through their school day.

I hope to make reading more enjoyable! I plan to use the books to help build our classroom library. I want students to find interest in the things they read and having books like these will help them do that!

Grades 3-5
