My Project

The students in my classroom would greatly benefit from these every day essential school supplies, including glue, paper, and pencils. These supplies include basic items that support the daily needs of my students. With the addition of these products to my classroom, my students will have an opportunity to have all of the basic materials that are needed for a successful school year.

My students will be set up for success and for a great school year with the addition of these essential classroom supplies.

Our school supply lists have been reduced over the past few years so that supply lists are cost-effective for families. With the addition of these supplies, our classroom will be stocked with supplies that address basic needs, creativity, and opportunities to extend their learning through creation and writing.
