My Project

I have some writing projects I would love to do this upcoming school year. In order to complete these projects I will need a few supplies.

I'm hoping to grow a love of writing in my students.

The pockets folders will be used to store some writing supplies, that I will used the laminating pouches to laminate so they hold up longer and last us all year long.

The file folders, index cards, and ziploc bags will be used to make file folders books. Of course you can't write without a trustworthy pencil.
