My Project

My students love to color and we have exhausted almost two boxes of crayons this school year. Same with the glue sticks. We started out with the glue sticks left over from last year and we have exhausted our supply. I have spent the entire year using inventive ways of storing student supplies (plastic bags, chair cubby, leftover pencil boxes) and I am now out of options.

My students are energetic and eager to learn along with a willingness to show what they know.

This is the last stretch of consistent learning we have before what I have heard teachers and administrators describe as "testing season". I just want to do all I can to ensure our readiness.
