Imagine being excited to learn, but lacking the basic supplies to do your assignments. That is what many students face. So, to make sure all of the students in my class have proper materials for school, I would like to provide them with basic school supplies. My students already struggle academically. These supplies such as folders, notebooks, colored pencils, and folders will allow my students to feel they have what they need in their classroom. Students will use these supplies every day. The notebooks will allow the students to have writing journals. The paper will allow my students to create their own hands-on bulletin boards.
