My Project

My students come from low-income backgrounds, and many face unique learning challenges.

My project focuses on acquiring classroom basics that are essential for creating a conducive learning environment.

These materials play a vital role in engaging students and promoting their academic success. For example, papers are essential for various activities in our special education classroom. Students often require modified worksheets tailored to their specific learning needs. Having access to sufficient paper allows us to print and modify these worksheets to accommodate individualized instruction. It also enables students to engage in writing assignments, note-taking, and art projects, providing them with opportunities to express their thoughts and ideas effectively. Your support in providing high-quality paper will greatly impact our students' ability to access and engage with their educational materials.
