My Project

Active involvement in classroom lessons leads to enhanced educational experiences. Students will be actively engaged and motivated as they are using the classroom supplies requested in this project! They will use the marker and highlighter sets, erasers, goal tracking stickers, and pencil boxes across the curriculum. These supplies are perfect for third graders.

Children are motivated and excited about learning when they are actively involved in the classroom.

It is my goal to make learning fun and interactive. The materials requested in this project will increase understanding of the concepts third graders need to be successful. Thank you for considering our classroom to support!!
