My Project

All of the supplies included in this project are things that we use daily in my classroom. We often use pencils, colored pencils, and basic supplies to complete projects and assignments in language arts, writing, science, and math. My goal is have all these supplies ready and available for my students so they can begin the year with everything they will need.

I can't wait to share these supplies with my students and continue to keep little minds learning inside my classroom!

Your donation to this project is needed and will be used for so many different areas of learning.
