My Project

Working at a Title 1 school is such a rewarding experience. There is so much joy and love for learning. However, one challenge we face is expecting every family to provide all the necessary everyday supplies to help our learning. Many times, teachers like myself are forced to buy supplies out of our own pockets. I have created this project hoping to help provide my students with what they need for 3rd grade.

The EXPO Dry Eraser Makers FINE TIP is one supply that every student needs to have one of their very own.

These supplies are some that are used every single day during Writing, Math, and Reading. Other supplies like the Elmer's All Purpose Gluesticks and the Staples Single Subject Composition Notebooks are supplies that are used one school year and need to be restocked for the next group of students.

I know being able to have a full supply closet allows each and every student to keep their own supplies in their desks. Students enjoy maintaining their own pencil boxes and work hard to keep everything neat and organized.
