My Project

Hello it is almost that time of year again the beginning of another school year. Things are going to be hectic and so does supplying a classroom for 20 new students. Students being able to have school supplies can be challenging. I am asking for a little assistance to get us started for another wonderful year. I am asking for pencils, glue sticks and homework folders.

These are things that will be used daily in my classroom this year.

Thank you in advance for donating to my project it means the world to me and my students!
