My Project

These essential classroom supplies are in use every day in my classroom. When students have their own school supplies, it helps to create a positive attitude toward learning. These essential school supplies would allow my students to engage in more hands-on learning and will allow them to experience a more positive environment.

The notebooks and pencils would allow my students to take great notes and engage during STEM learning.

These essential supplies would allow my students to excel as they would be more engaged and create a sense of ownership in their learning. Without these essential school supplies, a student might feel overwhelmed or unequipped, which can bring a decline in their confidence and drive. So having these supplies, will build their self-esteem and provide control over their learning experiences. This will allow them to make the most out of it of their experience.
