My Project

I have started this project in order to ensure that learning can take place at home and school. Many of our parents are just not able to get supplies with the cost of things now. I would like for the students to have these journals, crayons, a

pencils sharpener, and other materials accessible to them in the classroom and learn to work as a classroom community and share.

It will help them to learn and practice social skills, and manners and most of all enable them to complete their work. I am aiming to make every minute be utilized gaining knowledge and not focusing on a broken pencil or lack of crayon.
