My Project

My students will benefit from these supplies. The use of these supplies will allow the students to excel in all subject areas. These supplies will allow students to annotate various text. They will assist in students making connections with their subject matter. Students will be able to achieve more hands-on learning.

These supplies are not only for the students, but for the teachers as well.

Materials like a laminator and laminating sheets, will help teachers with their curriculum and help create teaching aids and materials for their classrooms. This is a blessing to us.

Ms. Bolds Ben Franklin Elementary School - PreK - 5 Campus Grades 3-5
