My Project

There are certain supplies you just know you're going to need every single year, especially in an English classroom.

Those supplies include pencils, erasers, and a pencil sharpener for the many writing assignments we have throughout the year; they also include glue because we do a lot of creative activities and assignments so students have different opportunities to showcase their talents.

A "new to me" supply for the upcoming year would be the paper cutter. To this point, I've only borrowed a paper slicer from someone else, but since that's becoming a frequent occurrence, I'd like to go ahead and get one of my own.

These are supplies I know my students and I will use throughout the year, and inevitably by the end of the year many of them will need to be replaced once again. Please help us get these vital supplies we need to start the year off right!
