My Project

It's hard to believe another school year is beginning. As summer fades, the excitement builds and I set up my classroom wondering what types of students will fill my desks. With the changes of students every year comes the needs for freshly stocked school supplies to help set them up for success. In my classroom I can go through about 1,000 sticky notes a week, countless pencils, and marker tops, so replenishing what has been "sacrificed" is always a necessity at the start of a school year. Having the tools I need to make a lesson that much more engaging or efficient whether it be, desk drawing with table paper, silent discussions via sticky notes, or better ways to organize student work with composition notebooks and folders are all things that make the year that much more seamless. The less I have to worry about the "small stuff", the more I can worry about the "big stuff". Thank you for your donation!
