My Project

I know for some families buying school supplies can be difficult. This is why I do my best to ensure I have all that students will need so that families do not have to worry.

Basic school supplies should not be a privilege, but a right all students have access to.

The materials requested for this project such as glue sticks, dry erase markers and crayons will provide students with the school supplies necessary to succeed in school. These materials will be used daily in our classroom to support students during whole group lessons, small groups, and center-based learning. Laminating pouches will provide students with long-lasting center materials which help support student engagement and academic success.
