My Project

Primary aged students use classroom supplies constantly to extend their learning. We love to incorporate colors, create crafts, and work in areas other than just our desks.

Help give my students the basics!

The crayons, markers, and colored pencils are always needed throughout the year. The clipboards would always be accessible for students to learn in various environments. When we learn about nature, we would be able to work on activities with clipboards and not have to write on the ground. I also teach students with various disabilities such as ADHD. Providing students a kick band helps them stay focused and prevents disruptions to the learning environment.
