My Project

Being a teacher to these group of kids shows me that resilience is REAL. They come from the not so "ideal" home environment but will give you 100% day in and day out.. The materials that I am asking for on behalf of my students will help them be successful in the class as well as out of the class. For example, we will be using interactive notebooks that they will use daily and they can take them home in order to study. Also the headphones are essential for students who have audio needs in class. Some things that are being asked for is to counter act the grumbling of their bellies in order to stay focused on the task at hand vs. the hunger. Other items will help them be complete assignments in the class as well as those that are being asked to do at home.
