My Project

Wow, my first-year teaching! I am blessed to have a classroom full of 5th graders this upcoming school year. I am starting from scratch and would love help getting my room stocked with basic school supplies.

Supplies needed include pencils, folders, composition notebooks, glue sticks, colored pencils, pencil sharpener, head phones, etc.

My goal is to create a space where students feel welcome and have everything they need to be successful in class. These supplies would go a long way towards that aim. I would greatly appreciate your generosity in helping me create the best classroom ever!
