New Things to Try!

Help me give my students new things (mechanic pencils, beads, and books) to try and experience with things they have never used before!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Denise Salisbury's classroom raised $211

My Project

My kids are always wanting to try new things and to figure out some of our new items from our last project, I thought why not try compasses out, and do a little learning too? Some compasses will come in handy in our classroom so they can learn some math and shapes. They would love to have new mechanical pencils because they are curious when they are sharpening the pencils about the inside of a pencil and they see the lead, so I was thinking to have lead pencils they can see and put in the lead in the pencil so they can experience how that works and have that new kind of pencils in our classroom. With the pearler beads, it would be a nice idea to do designs instead of simple shapes, so these books will help the creativity to show pixel pictures. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the generous donations.
