My Project

Thank you so much for considering this project! We all know that the supplies that are bought at the beginning of the year simply will not last the year. I am not sure where all the pencils have gone!

We need to refresh our supply of some basics that we use every day!

Dry erase markers are a tool that we use daily and they dry up. I also added Mr. Sketch Markers that are smelly. Those are a big hit during math game time. I also added some snacks! Thank you for considering this project and reading this description.
