My Project

Due to the pandemic, our students have experienced learning loss. This is unfortunate since they were already behind when compared to their peers. These materials will help my students be successful at completing tasks and learning at school. The school I teach at is a Title I school and the majority of our families are considered low income. These supplies will take the burden of purchasing new supplies off the families and make it so all students have exactly the same supplies to use each day. I never want a student to worry if they don't have a pencil.

I work with a diverse population of students who have varying needs and benefit from interactive lessons.

The supplies that are being requested include pencils, crayons and a pocket chart. These are items that are heavily used on a daily basis. I want to make sure they have everything they need to be successful at school and not have to worry about how they will get it.
