My Project

"Teaching is the greatest act of optimism". This is my daily motivation to impact our future generation and I want to instill the love and passion for each and everyone of them. Listening headphones and having a seat storage sack organizer will impact all learning styles including ESL and nonreaders who need a quiet setting to build word recognition skills and flexible space to put their belongings in.

My school receives Title 1 funding which provides supplemental funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student funds to school districts to assist schools with the highest student concentrations of poverty to meet school educational goals.

My school is located in the heart of the city with children coming from low level families. Due to the impact of Covid the poverty level increased. I currently have 15 ecstatic (number will increase) students who are determined to become the future leaders of America. No matter the impact/trauma they experience at home, they continue to strive to do their best! Many of my students are below levels in reading/math.

The Earphones and Seating Storage Sack will instill a quiet area for them to listen to their lessons and take test. I am in need of the earphones and seat storage sack organizer to increase their reading and math scores. My students will be able to build these skills in a quiet and organize manner without a noisy environment.

The donations will help improve my classroom environment setting by allowing them a safe haven to build their academic skills.

Since I have a ESY student and a variety of learning levels in my classroom, they will be able to listen/organize quietly, increase reading/math skills, and invites students to be passionate about learning.
