My Students

Kindergarten is such an important time in a child's life. In first grade, a teacher will learn if a child will struggle with reading or just absolutely love it.

Teachers are champions of every student that walks through their door.

No matter what the ability or disability might be.

My students are no different. Learning is easy for some and harder and more challenging for others. All of them deserve to have tools and resources that will let them succeed.

My Project

This project will give my students the ability to focus on what matters and let them just be students. My students come from places which are low socioeconomic areas.

It isn't right or fair that they should have to worry about such things.

This project allows them to focus on school and bettering themselves.

A printer allows them access to print out resources that they otherwise would not be able to have access to. Many of their parents don't have money to buy supplies like folders and pencils, and a boy or girl that is 6 should not have to worry about that. My projects main objective is to make the lives of my students easier and allow them to focus on what is most important.
