Finishing Strong with the Right Tools

Help me give my students supplies needed to finish the school year strong!

My Project

These items will insure that my students are able to complete the school year with all the supplies they need. The weather is beginning to get warmer, the days are beginning to be longer, and Spring fever is starting to set in. Students have worked hard since August which means supplies are dwindling down as we look towards wrapping up the school year. Though the time we share in the classroom is decreasing, there is still a large amount of learning and growth left! As my students have began their education career in August, we spent several months learning and practicing how to function in the new school environment and use the appropriate supplies.

Now my students are more independent and ready to show off their abilities and skills.

New supplies would truly benefit my students as they finish the 2024-25 school year strong and prepare for Kindergarten.
