My Students
My students are in kindergarten and first grade. They are from low-income households and a majority of our students are receive free or reduced price lunch. While our students face many challenges, they always come to school ready to learn!
I want all of my students to be excited about coming to school and learning regardless of the challenges they face at home.
Every child deserves to come to school where they feel comfortable, happy and engaged in the learning process!
My Project
My students are in desperate need of school supplies. As a teacher, I am having to provide my students with all the supplies they need. We need markers, pencils, crayons, colored pencils, and glue sticks. We are in need of a brand new pencil sharpener. Sharpening pencils by hand is time and consuming. My students will be very eager to have the classroom job of sharpening pencils. Nothing makes a teacher happier than sharp pencils!
Most of these supplies are items my students need to use daily, and without them, we are unable to learn efficiently.
In our classroom, we do a lot of hands-on activities that involve all of these school supplies.
We use glue sticks, markers, and pencils every day in my classroom for a variety of activities.
Supplying these school supplies will help tremendously help our class and have my students be more creative!
