My Project

My goal for this project is to have the basics needed for the beginning of the school year for my classroom. These items will help give the class a good start before students bring supplies in. While students are requested to bring in supplies, many do not and rely on the teacher having extra supplies to give them. These extra items kept for the classroom allow the students that come to class without supplies to have the tools they need to work.

Our students are special because they come from low-income families and our school is a Title I school.
