Let's Buzz Into the End of the Year

Help me give my students buzzers, dry erase markers, googly eyes, and snacks.

My Project

I would love to have snacks available for students on days when they are hungry. Sometimes they come in with a hungry belly, sometimes they may not like lunch, sometimes they are just growing so much that they are like an endless pit! Whatever the reason is, if they do not have a full belly, it is hard to get them to learn.

We also are in need of some buzzers for a fun review game that we are going to do at the end of the year.

Lastly, we are always in need of dry erase markers and googly eyes. The markers dry out as the year goes on and we use them often. We use the googly eyes for several projects and are running low.
