My Project

My project is essentially a wish list to prepare my students for the rest of the school year. In my classroom, I'm currently in need of folders, notebooks, rulers, a classroom timer, and classroom supplies. My students will have access to the supplies they need for our everyday activities and projects because of this effort. The project's resources will also help create a welcoming learning atmosphere. Many of my students don't have the money to buy the supplies they need for school. My pupils attend a Title I school and are a part of a 30-student total self-contained class for three grades (6, 7th & 8th) with roughly all receiving special education services. My pupils are great communicators, but not necessarily a communicator of needs. Getting these supplies will help close the achievement gaps for my students. Thank you so much for your generous donation!
