My Project

Greetings! This is my first year of teaching, yay! The items are replacements for old and broken supplies that were left over from previous years. I believe that my students deserve a fresh start and new supplies. I have provided all my students with basic supplies this year, supplies that are a bare minimum for them to have a great learning experience, such as markers, crayons, and colored pencils. Help me make this year fantastic by helping fund supplies for activities outside of math, science, and social studies. Thank you for taking the time to read this description and happy learning!
