My Project

I am requesting supplies for my classroom. Pencils, crayons, folders are all basic supplies that we need in our classroom as well as art supplies to bring out the artist in us. We have run low or are even out of some of them. Our laminator broke a few weeks ago and it is missed! Making games and curriculum enhancements is something I do for each unit and I am not able to do that right now. We need materials to help us learn!

Help replenish our basic classroom supplies so our students can continue learning to their full potential!

By having basic classroom supplies, students will have enough material to have engaging lessons. They are important for the day to day function of the classroom. Please help us add some basic classroom supplies to our room to enhance learning and engagement! Thanks in advance for your support!
