A Clean Slate - Lets Do This!

Help me give my students the opportunity to have the necessary tools needed to start school.

My Project

A clean slate at 5th Grade is what my new students will be expecting. In order for them to be prepared for their learning they need will some help with starting out on this new adventure. Some of the items needed are pencils, erasers and crayons etc. These resources will help to prepare my students for the work that is at end, as well as ensure that they have what they need so that nothing interferes with learning.

How amazing will it be when no one has to worry about having a pencil?

My students deserve this opportunity of having a clean slate.
