My Project

The projects I have selected will give my upcoming students enough supplies to have a successful year and hopefully a fun year of learning. We currently do not have enough seat sacks for the incoming class, and the sacks we do have are falling apart. This is also true for several other supplies on my list: clipboards, privacy folders, and whiteboards. Having enough quality organizational items and learning supplies helps make the day flow nicely, allowing for quicker transition times and more learning to occur. Please also help add some fun to our learning! The other supplies (insect resin, solar system model, human body model, Chinese New Year envelopes, etc.) are all to support our Knowledge curriculum and hopefully make it more fun for the students and help bring worldly concepts that seem very foreign right in front of their eyes!
