My Project

Supplies go in the blink of an eye. As we head into 2023, we need glue, pencil pouches ,and a whole lot of paper to say the least. In With these supplies , we're also hoping to start using sheet protecters s to help reuse and practice for individual work/small group.

Basic school supplies are essential for any student to be successful in school.

While these supplies seem small, the little purchases throughout the year really add up for a teacher and your help makes a world of difference in helping me continue to provide high-quality engaging content for my students.
