My Project

The supplies that I am requesting for my classroom are needed for my scholars. They are always in need of pencils and erasers, so I would like to have these necessities available for my students. I have also noticed that children love stickers, and they will add extra efforts in completing assignments in order to achieve one. I also do many projects with my students, and we take plenty of photographs, so the laminator and the laminating sheets will help to preserve their creations. The carpet will be added to our classroom library area, where the students can read or enjoy a story that is being read to them.

I want to make sure that my students are ready to begin their days with no hesitations and no limitations.
