My Project

The right supplies help students feel prepared. Students who are equipped for the school day feel confident in their ability to function in the classroom. School supplies are essential, and kids can’t learn properly without having supplies. These supplies will help my students complete their work each day.

For children of low-income families, having adequate school supplies can drastically help pave a path to a successful future.

Being prepared keeps children motivated and excited. Studies show that when children have school supplies of their own, this can improve grades, creativity, attitudes towards learning, behavior, peer relationships, and self-image.

This variety of colored paper will especially come in handy for our interactive notebooks for Language Arts and Math. We do lots of hands-on learning where colored paper and card stock paper make the lesson come to life! It is crucial to make sure the leaders of the future are prepared today in schools.
