My Project

Summer vacation can provide a much needed break for students, but it can also be a time of learning loss. Too much screen time and not enough active play can set students back from the progress they have made.

It is my goal to provide students with materials such as chalk, notebooks, pencils, bubbles, and more for hands-on learning this summer.

Some students in my class have no basic school supplies at home. Providing these materials, along with books and math activities I already have will ensure that they keep their minds busy and get creative this summer!
