My Students

My students are the most resilient kids I have ever met. As a special educator it is imperative that we provide our students with the best materials possible to lead them towards success. I truly believe that the world needs all kinds of minds, and instilling this in my students is my top priority.

I teach 3 classes at my school, and this time of year, Morale can be low.

I am hoping to provide a supplies refresh for students to make sure they have the materials they need to be successful and feel empowered.

I want to ensure they have the best tools to learn.

My Project

The middle of winter can be dreary and morale can be low. This is also when students are running low on supplies... The classroom can feel stressful we students are searching for pens and pencils just to complete their work.

My hope is that with this project we can refresh supplies for students, as well as provide them with some treats and prizes to motivate them and boost morale.

Having the necessary supplies to learn makes a huge difference and being able to provide these supplies to my students really shifts the mood in our classes.
