My Project

The largest portion of this project goes towards a class set of headphones. My students use their headphones on and off all day long for 150+ days during the school year. They deserve to have quality products which will help them get the most of their daily learning. I have included multiple other tools which the students will use on a daily basis. I teach fifth grade math and so erasers, pencils, and dry-erase markers will be essential to our success. These are items that we can never have enough of.

My goal for this project is to collect items which my students will use on a daily basis.

My students will be in their final year of elementary school. We encourage them to be leaders and take pride in themselves. I believe that providing my students with fresh, new supplies will be a great way to kick off the school year.
