My Project

Middle school students love to participate in teamwork and cooperative groups. My students are eager to learn and do a great job when they are prepared. Having the right supplies will allow us to complete tasks and workshop activities because of access to the paper/pencil area. Being prepared means work is completed in a timely manner.

Too often, my students come to class unprepared because they do not have the required materials.

This project will provide paper and pencils for our learning environment. When students have the required materials, it contributes to success in the classroom.

Students will work through multiple writing units and will need paper and pencils in order to complete their final drafts. Students will be able to edit and revise multiple times in order to get to their best draft.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
