My Project

School supplies play a very important part in an elementary school classroom and student learning. We are at the beginning of the new school year and I would really like to be able to support my students' learning with new school supplies. Many of my students will begin the school year without any supplies and are in desperate need of folders, pencils, erasers, crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue sticks, scissors, and a variety of other school supplies.

Many of my students' families do not have enough money to buy school supplies for their child/children.

Having these new school supplies in our classroom will help my students' families feel relieved about not having to buy school supplies. I believe that furnishing my students with the required school supplies to be prosperous students is a great way to start their new school year experience. These new school supplies in our classroom will really help support my students' learning each day. It would really mean a lot to me to be able to start the new school year with these new school supplies.
