My Project

Since we are getting into the middle of the year, my classroom is running a little low on school supplies. For kindergarten, we basically go through all of our supplies before the year is up.

Because of this, I wanted to get ahead of the game and ask for some new school supplies for them to have such as new crayons, glue sticks, etc.

My students use crayons and glue sticks daily, in their classroom assignments. I also wanted to give my students these colors of the world crayons which allows them to color people with different skin tones. Lastly, I would like to have some things such as laminating pouches to make flashcards and games for my students to use during small groups as well as basic supplies such as paper clips and positive feedback stamps. I hope I am able to get this project funded and thank you to all who donate!
