My Project

School supplies are an essential part of any classroom and are essential for student learning. Without pencils, erasers, crayons, and markers, it’s hard for students to practice handwriting, show work for math strategies, and improve their ability to write complete sentences.

The right tools can make all the difference in a child's education.

School supplies are the foundation of a productive learning environment. Many families cannot afford to send in school supplies, especially at a Title I school. These supplies will help ease the burden on me by helping to provide school supplies for our intervention classroom. I want all my students to have the basic school supplies needed to support learning and activities in the classroom. It will mean the world to my students to begin the new school year with these awesome school supplies.
