My Project

Giving my students a learning environment they need is why being an educator is so important to me. Making sure they have supplies, such as the requested crayons and markers, space, with the requested rug, and teaching them to be organized, with the requested expanding file folders, helps make them become successful and strive on their own with minimal guidance. They will be able to save their work throughout the year to share with their families. Having tools like a laminating machine in the classroom will help protect projects they have worked on. They will become leaders and be proactive. All students need supplies and this project will help any child who is unable to have their own. We are a team and we will be able to accommodate all students.
