My Project

I am moving into a new position at my school mid-year and need some supplies to help get my space ready to work with my new students. Giving them supplies like pencils, crayons and whiteboard markers will allow them to get their work done.

Teaching is more than just the content, which is why I also want snacks and fidget tools for my students.

Giving them tools to get their energy out, and keep their hands busy will help them focus on the material I am trying to present and having snacks available for them will help those students that cannot focus at school due to hunger.
