My Project

These items will help my students to learn by encouraging them to think positively about themselves and their futures. Having good writing materials is helpful in that. Having writing materials that actually work & have lead in them helps with that also.

My students work so hard every day just to get to school, so they need these wonderful, bright and positive materials to use in class.

Having materials that actually work, will help my students to want to do the work. We need sketch books, paper, scissors, and more. My students take pride in their completed work. Keeping them motivated is a large part of getting that completed work.
