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.
They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds. The students from my class come from low-income households that cannot always afford the materials they need to learn at school. All of them love learning and are excited to find out new things. All of the students in my class live in the historic, culturally diverse neighborhood around our school located in Brooklyn, NY. Our school is a community NYCDOE public school. The parents choose our school as an opportunity for their children that is an alternative to the local public schools. Children in grades kindergarten through eighth grade attend our school.
These resources will be used every day by the students. The pens and pencils will be used by students every day. The ink for the printer would be used to print out copies for assignments but would also be used for students to print out assignments who those who do not have access to a printer at home. Giving the students basic supplies will ensure that all of the students in my class have an equal start and have the supplies and materials that they need to learn to the best of their abilities.
