My Project

Students always come to class with minimum school supplies in my district. I like to help relieve the burden that my students face at the beginning of the year. I enjoy giving them pencils, highlighters, white board markers, and a pencil pouch to store it all. These are the essentials for a successful 5th-grade year!

How would you feel if you came to class without the supplies needed?

Starting a new school year brings enough challenges, but I would like to reduce the fear of not having the same school supplies. Therefore, I like to provide students with the basic universal supplies for a successful beginning of the year!

I'm planning ahead for next school year - can you help?
