My Project

I had the chance to educate 25+ students this year. As the school year come to an end, I want to prepare myself for the next set of amazing students that I will be educating for the upcoming school year. The items in the cart are items my previous students used the most and materials that are NEEDED in order to prepare them. These items will make sure all students have what they need to always complete their work, to have more hands-on manipulatives for math lessons, and be awarded for positive behavior and meeting academic goals. The goal is to make sure all students are prepared for success, just like I am always prepared for them. Please help my future scholars be PREPARED for the upcoming school year. Thank you!
