My Project

The basic school supplies I'm requesting will play a crucial role in my students' learning by providing them with the necessary tools to build foundational skills. With these supplies, they can practice written language, highlight key vocabulary words, annotate text features, and focus on writing, which are essential for mastering reading and writing.

My goal is to equip my students with the necessary pencils, erasers, highlighters, glue, and lamination to strengthen their foundational skills across all subjects, particularly in reading and writing.

By ensuring they have the basic supplies, I aim to enhance their ability to engage deeply with the material, thereby improving their overall academic performance.

My students exemplify resilience, a key marker of hard work and success. Despite challenges, they are determined to succeed, and by providing them with these essential supplies, I am supporting their journey to build strong educational foundations, especially in Reading and Writing, which are critical for their future success.
