My Project

Each new school year brings new students and a new year of learning new concepts. I teach in a Title I school and all my students receive free lunch. They are hard working students that are determined to become something one day. I want to provide my students with the classroom materials they need to be successful in the classroom.

A teacher in a secondary school classroom employs a variety of materials to improve engagement and organization.

Students utilize notebooks to record detailed notes and submit assignments. Sheet protectors guarantee the preservation of critical documents and bulletins throughout the semester. Durable flashcards and instructional aides are manufactured using card stock. Students utilize highlighters to emphasize critical information in their textbooks and notes. Dry erase markers are employed by educators to facilitate interactive and visual learning by illustrating concepts and working through problems on whiteboards, while pens are indispensable for daily writing duties. Having these supplies my students will be ready to learn.
