After summer vacation going back to school can be an EXCITING time of year. Opening a new pack of pencils, breaking the crease on a brand new notebook, and putting papers in a sturdy folder. We have all had that rush of excitement as we open all our new school supplies and browse the room to see what our classmates have brought in...or have we? Not all students have the opportunity to afford the necessary materials needed to have a successful school year. How unexciting and miserable this can be for a student that doesn't have any school supplies at all, or for a student that is using the same notebook used last year.
School supplies prepare students to learn and set the tone for the year to come.
The products that I have selected will help my students by preparing them for the year ahead. It will ensure that all of my students have the materials necessary in order to be successful. Students will feel at ease when they know they have the necessary materials at school and will not feel ashamed or embarrassed to carry their supplies. These school supplies will help my students be comfortable in the classroom and prepare them to be successful learners.
