Supplies & Snacks to Motivate Young Scholars

Help me give my students support for remote learning with supplies and snacks. A pair of headphones will allow them to block out many distractions and help them focus! Snacks are for hungry stomachs.

My Students

I think my group of students is the kindest, most empathetic, and most willing students I have experienced. They are learning fully remotely (learning from home), and every day they come to class open-minded and ready to learn. They are very considerate and thoughtful of one another! Even today, one of my students mentioned how hard it must be for me to grade their work for all the subjects I teach them (English Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies). Like what kid says that?! I'm impressed by their endurance and capacity to find the silver lining. They are all being serviced by our Special Education program for either having a learning disability or speech-language impairment. Their thoughts and ideas about the world are truly inspiring, and I can't wait to see the adults they will become.

My Project

First, thank you for investing in our future! These items in my project are some basic yet essential things my students are going to need as they embark on the second course of this 2020-2021 school year. I have noticed simple supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and markers are in need. My class has been learning remotely since September. Students need to be able to work on projects and assignments that give them relief from the everyday use of the computer.

Additionally, many students are at home with siblings who are also learning remotely.

That is why these requested headphones are so important. How can you learn if you can't hear a thing?!

Last but not least, I have requested some snacks. Our parents are now solely responsible for all the meals throughout the day. Some students go without lunch and more. In these challenging times, pitching in to do anything we can will definitely help.

In gratitude- Keziah Narain
