My Project

Many of my students do not have the school supplies they need to excel in school. They need even the most basic supplies like colored pencils and paper. I teach students with a wide variety of needs. Some of my students are in learning support, autistic support, and emotional support. It is important to me that these students have all the supplies they need to succeed.

I need these supplies so no child in my class has to be without the bare necessities a student needs to learn and be successful in school.

Some of these basic supplies are colored pencils, construction paper, white out, and pencil cases. They need these supplies to write essays, take notes, and create posters and one pager projects. Having these supplies will make sure that no one is embarrassed or feels unprepared when they walk into my classroom.
