My Project

The requested items—erasers, scissors, glue, and storage crates—are essential tools that foster hands-on, interactive learning. Erasers allow students to correct mistakes and refine their work, encouraging a growth mindset. Scissors and glue support creativity and engagement in projects, making lessons more dynamic and memorable. Storage crates will help keep materials organized, our filing cabinets were thrown away over the summer, and we never received new ones. The crates will create an efficient and clutter-free learning environment that minimizes distractions.

The goal is to provide students with the necessary supplies to participate fully in classroom activities, from group projects to independent work.

By ensuring they have access to these supplies, I aim to promote collaboration, creativity, and responsibility while reinforcing key skills in personal finance, history, and sociology to end the school year.

My students are hardworking, inquisitive, and eager to engage in hands-on learning experiences. They thrive when given opportunities to explore concepts through projects and real-world applications. Many of them are developing essential life skills that will serve them beyond the classroom, and having the right supplies ensures that every student, regardless of background, can actively participate and succeed.
