My Students

My school is in a rural county in Virginia. I have 21 students that come from many different backgrounds. They love coming to school and learning each day and I want to give them all the tools they need to succeed.

My students come from many diverse economic situations and when they come to school each day I want them to have the best learning environment possible.

It is my job to ensure they get the very best education possible.

My Project

We are nearing the end of the school year and my class has almost completely run out of all their basic supplies. Our pencil sharpener in the classroom just broke and we need a new one for all the pencils we sharpen each day. Students need pencils for all subjects as they use them during reading, writing, math, and content. My students need crayons for every subject also, all of their crayons are down to very small pieces and some students have none at all and have to borrow from the community cup. My students will use the glue sticks for a variety of classwork including gluing their word study words and math and content work into their journals. All of the supplies being asked for will be used for classwork, journals, and some students need many of these supplies to borrow to take home to complete assignments.

Thank you for your help!
