My Project
Some of my students come to me on the first day of school eager to learn but without school supplies. They are disappointed when they see others with things they do not have. I often have to gather or pay for supplies to make sure each student in my class has what they need to be successful.
Having enough school supplies for each student on the first day of school will help all students feel welcome and excited to start the school year.
The students will enjoy choosing different supplies to put in their school supplies basket. They will also be glad to have their own eraser, wipe off marker, and glue stick and crayons. Not having to share will also keep us healthier. The baskets will help my students keep the supplies organized and ready to use. Having school supplies for each student when they enter the classroom will help me check one thing off my ever growing list of things I need to do.
