My Project

The items that I'm requesting will enable my students to become successful in their next grade level. In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! My students will be able to get prepared for 7th grade with these essential materials.

My expectations for my students are endless.

Allowing them to be prepared for the next level will boost their confidence level. The pencils, posters, and other supplies of the sort will be used by the students, so that they may create books and complete their daily assignments. The organizational items will be placed in our classroom and will help students to keep up with daily materials needed for success.

The students will also be able to choose materials that interest them. The best way to increase a growth mindset is to make sure that students are equipped with essential materials that allow them to continue to grow stronger in reading and math.

Your assistance is definitely needed to help make this possible for my awesome students. Thank you in advance.
