My Project

So many students worry about just getting to school that ensuring they have the proper supplies to be successful in the classroom does not even cross their mind, so this project will help students further their reading and writing abilities as well as help them with daily supplies that they are lacking to be successful in their daily activities. By becoming better readers and demonstrating their ability to comprehend the text they are not only showing others they can over any obstacles in their way, but they are also building confidence in themselves that can not be taken away.
