My Project

As we continue working through the rest of the school year, my students need additional supplies to achieve their goals in the classroom.

We are in need of more classroom supplies such as pencils, pens, markers and colored pencils to continue working on their lessons in the classroom.

The new materials that we are looking to obtain will help students continue working on all of our lessons and achieving our goals throughout the remainder of the year. In addition, the Jolly Ranchers will be used for student rewards to keep them motivated and focused on the lessons as we work towards those goals.
