My Project

This year we are starting a new curriculum which was introduced to the teachers as we returned to school. Upon reading through and seeing how the curriculum moves, it has become clear that my class needs quite a few supplies that are a bit more expensive. Therefore, I am asking for notebooks, especially three subject notebooks, in order to help this new curriculum run smoothly as we begin the year.

These notebooks will help my students to expand their vocabulary and help them grow as readers throughout the school year!

These supplies are integral to making sure that the curriculum with be implemented correctly in order to see the biggest benefits and to help my students grow as readers and learners!
