My Project

I always love our classroom community each year! Having the necessary art materials, supplies, and toys goes a long way towards shaping our class for the better! Our kids learn better when they have what they need and they can grow their skills when offered the opportunity to be exposed to new materials. My students are so important to me and I will ensure that all of these donated items are put to very good use within our classroom! Students will be sure to get plenty of use from all of the different items on this list.
