My Project

The supplies and materials like borders, tape and more that I am requesting this year will go a long way toward helping students deal with all the hardships and crazy world events they continue to live through. I want to give them a safe space to deal with their emotions and the supplies to be successful this school year.

I have a wonderful group of students coming in this year.

I hope to create an environment that would cater to my students with various learning styles. These materials will allow my students to be more independent, more focused on their tasks, and turn in quality work in collaborative spaces.
