My Project

Hello!!

I'm a first year teacher for third grade and I love it, but many of my kids do not have color pencils, markers, crayons, or scissors.

These supplies make school fun and colorful for them create what they see around them. I would truly appreciate your help! And they would too! It would make them so much more excited and engaged. My favorite thing to do in school was to color and cut things out they way my teacher did. I want to give them that same experience. Thank you for your consideration!
