My Project

Every year it seems to get harder and harder for parents to buy basic school supplies, so I would love some help being able to assist them in making sure each of my students have what they need on day one. I teach a K/1 Self-contained bridge class of 12 students. Even having a smaller class size, it is still difficult to help purchase these supplies myself.

Crayons, expo markers, and glue are some necessary items for returning to school, and I want to make sure all of my kids have them.

I have also included some other classroom supply items that are equally as important- soap, paper towels, ziplock bags, Lysol wipes, and Kleenex tissues. We tend to run out of these items the quickest.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you for considering my project for some back to school basics this year.
