My Project

The goal of this initiative is to ensure every student in my classroom has access to the necessary school supplies, including but not limited to pocket folders, pencils, markers, etc. This project targets underserved students who may lack the financial resources to procure these tools.

Upper grade students often require a variety of materials to support their learning.

Unfortunately, our classroom budget does not cover all the necessary supplies, and many students do not have access to the materials they need at home. As a result, students often arrive to class unprepared, making it difficult for them to complete assignments. Securing additional funding to gather necessary materials would help address this challenge.

By providing these essential supplies, we will create an environment that allows for better organization and enhanced engagement with the curriculum. These supplies will be used for daily activities, class projects, group work, note taking, and individualized learning experiences.
