My Project

This project is filled with supplies that students will need when school starts. New and personal supplies are motivators for student work and growth. Mechanical pencils are a great motivator and will be used for daily work. Students will use the pencils when using the composition notebooks for Writer's Workshop.

The expo markers will be used for vertical math instruction on the white boards.

The post-it white board paper will used on the walls to create a reusable work space for students.

New and personal supplies are excellent ways to encourage students to complete assignments. Your donation to this project will make a difference.
