My Project

I have a great group of 7th graders this year. They love school, but they struggle everyday with being prepared for class. Since the start of the school year, they have had a hard time bringing required materials to class.

With this project, I would like to create individual pencil pouches to stay in my room that contain the materials needed for class.

They will have pencils, glue, scissors, and highlighters readily available each day. Preparedness will never be a problem again and they will be set up for math success!
