My students need basic supports to help them learn. They came back from distance learning to a classroom that doesn't have all of the things they need to help them succeed in overcoming the gaps that covid-learning created. Not only do my students need supply resources, they also need emotional resources. They need things to help keep them focused, like chair fidget bands, and things like fluorescent light covers to help them feel more comfortable in their learning environment. I want my students to have the basic supplies they need, so that the learning can come first.
