My Students

The third graders at my school are inquisitive, compassionate, and creative. Our classroom is very diversified and has students from all backgrounds with different learning styles. We have students with special needs, students whose primary language is not English, gifted learners, children with military backgrounds, and students that come from low income families. Our school is a Title I school with 100% of our students receiving free breakfast and lunch. My students come into class everyday eager to learn something new.

My Project

My project is simple, you may even say BASIC! It consists of the basic supplies that my students will need to be successful in the classroom! Our classroom focuses on hands-on learning experiences, which require supplies such as glue, crayons, markers, and scissors.

Many of my students come to school lacking these basic supplies.

I work hard to provide these basic supplies for all of my students, but this project will help make sure that each student has exactly what they need. Please help these students have their basic needs met with supplies. Students will be grateful on a daily basis for your generosity (and so will I)!
