My Project

For a child to succeed, they need the tools to do so. Simple items like markers, pens, and pencils can give my students the ability to do the required classwork of taking notes and staying organized. I could do more for them academically if they came to class prepared. These supplies will be available for any student who needs them. They need to write down key ideas. Items like pens will be used to decorate our notebooks and posters. They need to be organized for all we have to do in their math and science classes.
