My Project

I absolutely love my job as an elementary exceptional education teacher!! My students are such goal driven scholars! They never allow any task to get the best of them.

I am requesting pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, and Kleenex because we are completely out of these supplies.

My students are constantly asking for pencils and erasers to complete their assignment. I do not want anything to hinder them from being successful in the classroom. We are in our final semester of this academic school year. We need these supplies to assist in finishing the year strong! We are in the winter months and as many of my students have coughs and colds, the Kleenex will assist in covering the coughs and sneezes.

I am a traveling co-teacher, traveling daily with my students to the general education classroom. I am requesting the rolling bookbag to transport the various supplies I am requesting in this project. The bookbag will allow me to have the necessary confidential paperwork needed as we travel from classroom to classroom.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider donating to our classroom project!
