My Project

My students get two free meals a day and most come from low-income families. I have a student who lost her Chromebook over five weeks ago. She is falling behind; I would like to give her a laptop to use, so she may keep up.

Many of my students need headphones for the audio version of the texts.

My students are ELL/ESL, so using headphones will help when they hear new stories in our class. They can follow along and learn new words.

Lastly, we need a few art supplies when we do our centers. I bought a Cricut with my own money, but need help with the iron-on product, so we can make class shirts.
