My Project

My goal for this project is to be able to provide my incoming students next year, with materials to set them up for success from the very beginning. I am asking for support in being able to provide each students with folders, notebooks, sticky notes, paperclips, staples and enough Mr. Sketch markers for all to use.

The Mr. Sketch markers will be used to create anchor charts that will enhance the learning of my students.

Not only that but allow my students to create their own posters to showcase their creativity and learning. If I was able to provide all of my students with these materials then it would make organization easier for all, and keeping track of assignments a breeze.
