My Project

Right now, my students really need the extra push to finish the school year strong - academically, emotionally, and physically. Items for this project were selected to motivate students to live the process and complete their work. Items include snacks, notebooks, pencils, markers, paper, erasers, games, and some high interest, student-requested reading material.

These small items can instill a sense of accomplishment and boost students' confidence in their abilities; no matter how small, reinforces a positive self-image and encourages further growth and learning.

My project aims to support students' social, emotional, and mental well-being by fostering community, providing an emotional outlet, building resilience, boosting confidence, and addressing learning loss caused by the pandemic
