My Project
A new school year is an exciting time filled with fresh opportunities to learn and grow. To help my students get off to the best possible start, I’m requesting essential supplies: a welcome back bulletin board kit, glue sticks, folders, handwriting paper, and crayons.
These simple yet crucial materials support a wide range of classroom activities—from writing and organization to hands-on learning and creative expression.
Glue sticks will be used for interactive notebooks and cut-and-paste activities that make learning fun and engaging. Folders will help students keep their work organized and take pride in what they’ve accomplished. With so many lessons, activities, and individual student needs to manage, a dedicated planner is an essential tool to ensure that everything runs smoothly and efficiently in our classroom. Handwriting paper will support daily writing practice, helping students develop neatness, legibility, and confidence in their writing. Crayons will allow students to express their ideas through drawing and bring color to their work, making learning more vibrant and meaningful.
These supplies will help me provide a well-equipped, inclusive, and equitable learning environment where every student has the materials they need to thrive. Having the right supplies ensures that all students can fully participate, see themselves reflected in our work, and feel valued and empowered every day.
