My Project

Binders and pencils and timers oh my! Please give my students some basic supplies. I need these to help with my small groups you see, so they will be prepared and in turn succeed. Having the needed materials from day one will guarantee that my students will all learn in fun!

We need these basic supplies to start our school year!!

Each student will have their own personal binder, which will entail all their work with me. Please help me give my students the basic supplies that they need for my classroom.
