My Project

We all get excited about a new school year. But what happens when you do not have all the necessary supplies? A tough start to a new year! These supplies will allow the students and I to start off on the right track.

Basic supplies are essential to all students education!

Pencils, paper and dry erase markers are an essential supply for every classroom. With limited board space and different subjects to keep track of, it is nice to have a dedicated board for each subjects pathway for the day or week and not have to worry about it getting erased. Copy paper is more than just that, it is a blue print page for various writing charts, for maps and other projects that require free space.

Help my students and I have a fantastic start to a new year!
