Help me give my students the materials they need to be successful in learning. Most students lack basic classroom materials needed to participate in everyday learning, providing these materials students can focus on learning.

My Students
I am a teacher at an inner-city school in Miami, Fl, nestled in a small community. My school includes grades from Pre-Kindergarten through eighth grade and has a large ESOL population of greater than 85%. A large majority of our students are from Haiti, and their parents have difficulty providing students with basic school materials. I am a Middle Grades Mathematics teacher and currently teach grades 6-8 mathematics courses. My students vary in their mathematical abilities, some due to the different teaching in their country, others due to lack of mathematics conceptual understanding and also language barriers. My students are eager and love to learn. In order to meet the needs of my students, I utilize various teaching and learning strategies, such as group work, alternative seating, and a variety of learning options to ensure that each student's needs are met at their level. My students always surprise me with how persistent they are and their willingness to learn and understand the content.
My Project
Students can come to class and focus on the essence of instruction and not the materials they are lacking. By providing students with the basic school supplies in my class students are less stressed about not having them. The classroom becomes a true learning environment where students have access to the basics to complete their job ( learning). Students will not have to worry about not having the necessary tools they need to succeed and solely focus on learning. My students are hard workers and sometime feel bad they don’t have the necessary school supplies needed to complete their assignments.
