My Project

I am a first year 6th grade teacher. We are almost half way through the year and we are running low of a few supplies. I would also really like to make little gift bags for my students for Christmas because for some, this might be the only thing they get.

I supply at lot of materials and supplies in my classroom and we are running very low on a few things.

We are needing a few snacks, glue sticks, and headphones. Students use headphones and glue sticks almost daily and this would be very beneficial for us to have. I also supply snacks for a daily snack time and we are starting to run low. Any help is very much appreciated.
