My Project

Each year the school provides the curriculum and the basic supplies. You can teach with the basics, but can you ask students to produce their best work? Painting is only fun if you have bright acrylic colors to mix into the perfect color! Keeping homework in a spiral notebook is key to seeing the progress at home!

These Opulent Objects make the classroom come alive with creativity!

Having a working stapler and sharpener is key to a functioning classroom. Having the pens to outline your scientific observations makes the drawings pop! Highlighting geography and honoring your culture leads to empathy and knowledge.

Last....cursive is back, and my students are going to be able to write out their thoughts quickly as well as beautifully. We have the ability to give individual students the cool tools to fuel school projects with fabulous luxury items.
