My Project

As we all know COVID-19 had a tremendous affect on many students. Most of my students struggle in multiple areas across all subjects. As a first year teacher I am requesting materials to help assist me in meeting the needs of my students. The items I am requesting will help assist my students through Mathematics and English. I also am requesting regular classroom material to ensure we have everything for the school year. The headphones will serve students who did not have any. Overall these items will help advance my students with their academic learning.
